I use Firefox 3.6.3 on Windows XP. I cannot see the Indic scripts in Wikipedia. The page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Multilingual_support_%28Indic%29 is of no use at all, because it never mentions Firefox 3.6.3, only 1.5 and 3.0 and what worked for them doesn't work for me. What should I do to see all the scripts in Wikipedia correctly?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== Maybe with a new version of Firefox?

The Firefox version doesn't matter. Only matters is that you have installed Indic (complex script) support in Windows and that you have all fonts installed as well.

Which Indic scripts are causing problems? Does the help page indicate that support for that script is present in Windows XP?

Well, they sort them as "Indic" in Wikipedia, although they are mostly non-Indian: Khmer, Tibetan, Lao,...

I do have installed the scripts in Windows, no problem with that.

As for your link, I do not understand how that could help me see the scripts that I do not see now.

That's my post above. My name seems to be lost somewhere on the way.
