According to Microosft's DLL Help database the following versions of
uniscribe are available in the following products.
Version 1.407.2600.0 : Windows XP
Version 1.405.2416.1 : Visio 2002
Version 1.400.2411.1 : Internet Explorer 6
Version 1.325.2195.2104 : Windows 2000 SP2
Version 1.325.2195.1340 : Windows 2000 SP1
Version 1.325.2180.1 : a range of products inlcuding Internet Explorer 5.5,
Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 2, Office 2000 SR1, Office XP
Professional, Windows 2000, Windows Millenium Edition
as pointed out in other posts two things are required:
1) a opentype font designed for Hindi ( or in the case of web pages , an
embeded opentype font).
and
2) an appropraite version of uniscribe installed.
in theory IE 5.5 has the appropriate version of uniscribe installed on
windows 98 SE
although from observation installing IE 5.5 or IE 5.5 SP2 does not
automatically update uniscribe.
deleteing the language packs that require uniscribe support, and then
reinstalling them does update uniscribe. Not sure why it requires this
convoluted installation process, but it seems to work that way.
