I just noticed this message, and tried the page on a few browsers
on my Mac and linux boxes.  They had opposite problems.  ;-)

On the Mac, the Character Palette showed that I have at least two
Devanagiri fonts installed.  Safari and Opera show the page's contents,
correctly as far as I can tell.  The mozilla-suite browsers (mozilla,
firefox and seamonkey) all show strings of ?s for the page's text,
but have a correct title bar.

On the linux box, Opera shows the page and title bar correctly. The
mozilla-suite browsers show the page's contents correctly, but have
little squares for the chars in the title bar.

It's sorta funny that OSX and linux versions of moz/FF/XM would do
opposite screwups.  The fact that they do some of the text right,
and Opera gets it all right, seems to prove that both systems have
a usable Devanagiri font.

I wonder if there's a known way to make they do both the contents
and the title correctly on both machines.

(The linux box is a server that hasn't been upgraded for a few years,
so maybe current linux releases do a better job.  And it's just the
title bars that are wrong there, which is annoying but not fatal. But
I also find that xterm windows don't handle UTF-8 on the linux box,
while an OSX Terminal window and vi works to edit UTF-8 on OSX.)
