I am currently looking into downloadable fonts, a new feature in Firefox 3.5; this would negate the need for every visitor to a website to have the correct font installed to see Pali diacritics displayed correctly.
Getting the correct font to display does not seem to be a problem, however the conversion to the correct unicode characters still does not work. Has anybody had more success?
