How widely used is the Classical Sanskrit eXtended (CSX+) encoding?
It has not been registered at IANA as a character set (procedure at
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2278.txt ), so browsers can't be told what
encoding to use, and one has to use a hack font. It was a bit of a
struggle to display the Unicode translations (

There was some discussion of how to display the character set on the
Unicode Indic list in July 2006. I was told by Microsoft that the
display by general purpose fonts would be much improved in Windows Vista.
