I installed Internet Explorer 6 which, according to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q298624
should have installed the language packs for Thai etc. that require the
complex script uniscribe support. However, the web page
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/translations/hindi.html
still displays with the same problems as before. As you suggest, this may be
because of Arial Unicode MS. Where can I download a Unicode Open Type Font
that supports Hindi?

How do I delete and then reinstall individual language packs?
Thanks,
