How to display non -english languages in browser.

I can't see hindi letter in latest firefox , opera etc.

Is there some font pack or language pack I should install ?

I really don't know about hindi supported fonts, but you can try Ubuntu fonts from this forum thread: SliTaz should have more font packages.

i think i updated my glibc to 2.14 manually in slitaz 3.0

This caused rendering issue in browser as I see the hindi fonts are proper in live cd.

Anyway , is there a way I can find out that 'how many unicode characters of 110,000 can my browser display ?'

I think you don't need whole Unicode, but only Hindi wink

My lovely place for international information is Wikipedia:

Standard Hindi

Devanagari

Help:Multilingual support (Indic)

I can't see whole Devanagari here: Devanāgarī in Unicode

And I begin to dig wink

I downloaded "ttf-devanagari-fonts_0.5.11ubuntu1_all.deb" wrom here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/ttf-indic-fonts/

How to install this .deb?

[*]Open PCManFM in the folder with this downloaded package;

[*]Press F4 to open terminal in this folder;

[*]Write in terminal: [c]tazpkg convert ttf-devanagari[/c] [and press Tab for file name completion];

[*]When SliTaz package prepared, you can install it as usual (double-click on it, enter root password, press "Install")

I'm using SliTaz 4.0 with Midori browser. I can change my preferences: Menu→Edit→Preferences(Ctrl+Alt+P)→Fonts→select your Hindi fonts.

After this tunings I can see almost all letters from example above:
