IE supports dynamic fonts, so i dont have to download it. but firefox doesnt. So i manually downloaded and installed the font from the site. But still i cannot read the contents. Do I need to change any browser settings to view this site ?? Reproducible: Always

Well, I'll say this much: I don't think that site needs to be putting THREE content-type META tags in the header: <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;charset=x-user-defined"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> I'm not sure which one of these a Gecko browser will use, but that x-user-defined thing definitely seems to be an IE-ism.

This looks ok now. there is this at the top : <!-- /* $WEFT -- Created by: Mahesh kumar (mkch1985@gmail.com) on 12/31/2008 -- */ Can anyone confirm that the page looks ok ?
Site was apparently updated to use UTF-8, so this bug no longer applies. But the underlying issue of dynamic fonts is not fixed as of Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3: bug 52746 (unless it's been fixed on 3.6...)
