There is no such thing as "Hindi font"; there is Devanagari script used in several Indian languages, including the most used in India and even Sanskrit. Look, I've never been in India and never worked with any Indian languages but I know, so you should know much better. You should also now that Unicode sub-ranges have nothing to do with the font. A single font usually covers several Unicode sub-ranges.

Truly... this should be the answer in order to allow it to be upvoted ad nauseam... it has been impressing (and I don't have any idea on Indian languages) but this doesn't mean that this would have not been impressive... I'll 5 your answer, not only for the answer itself which deserves the 5 as always but for this comment... :O

Thank you, Joan.
I know something about classification of some languages and their relationships, but don't understand languages themselves. There is a lot of Wikipedia and other quality resources. I think respect to languages and culture in general is very important, especially those of your home country.

How to implement similar solution for WAP sites developed in PHP?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 21-Jun-11 11:25am

PHP is the server-side, has nothing to do with different local systems of the clients.
Just output text data in Unicode, that's it.
