  • Make sure that you have Internet Explorer 6.0 installed on your system. Then download the file VoltSupplementalFiles.exe from
    http://download.microsoft.com/download/Typography/Update/2.00/W98NT42KMeXP/EN-US/Voltsupplementalfiles.exe
  • Run VoltSupp and extract the files to a temporary location, say, to your c:\windows\temp\VoltFiles
  • In the location where you have extracted the files to (c:\windows\temp\VoltFiles), you would find a file usp.zip. Extract the contents of this zip file using a program like Winzip or Winrar or 7zip and copy the file usp10.dll to c:\windows\system.
  • In case Windows Explorer notifies you that a file already exists with the same name, make a copy of the existing file by renaming it to usp10_back.dll and then try re-copying the usp10.dll file extracted from usp.zip. This would update the windows component(usp10.dll) that handles processing of unicode scripts.
  • The folder c:\windows\temp\VoltFiles would also contain a file named Mangal.volt.ttf which is a unicode font for Devanagari.
  • Copy this file to c:\windows\fonts (can be different if you have windows installed in a non-default location)
  • You might have to restart the computer to be able to check out unicode content after updating your system with these usp10.dll and the font files.
  • The following are a few sites with alternative fonts for the Devanagari script :

    (Note: In case windows is installed to a different folder other than c:\winnt, the corresponding \system32 and \fonts directories need to be used)
