I am trying to see the results for the electoral rolls from http://203.199.16.205/msd/ or any other district except "Mumbai city"
in the open source web browser known as firefox. Unfortunately there is a need to install a font called DVBW-TTSurekh available from http://www.maharashtra.gov.in/fonts/fontsHelp.php
specifically http://www.maharashtra.gov.in/fonts/bin/Dvbwsr0n.ttf (For windows machines-- this has to be copied into the windows\fonts directory whereas for linux its to be copied into the user's home directory's .fonts directory ie ~/.fonts)
and the following lines at the beginning of the source page of the result need to be added (which only a person with a little knowledge of html and a text editor would be knowing)
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
Then only the results are seen properly.
THERE IS NO NEED FOR A CDAC PLUGIN AT ALL--something which has been made mandatory for all visitors so that they only use microsoft's Internet explorer. The results were deliberately not working except for "mumbai city" which is the elite section of maharashtra because the results page had a missing meta tag as above. Only search results generated from mumbai city were working because this meta tag was generated correctly for them. this affected search results for all districts other than "Mumbai city" including Mumbai Suburban and Pune.
Once the tag is properly generated in each resulting page, any browser (netscape, opera, mozilla etc) can view the results. This is another way that a premier GOVT agency like CDAC helps propagate Microsoft and its products in preference to what is good for the country by forcing the layman to use microsoft products and showing that there is no other way to get IT work done.
