    Netscape 6 Users:
    Netscape has not included Bitstream's dynamic font technology in the release of Netscape 6. This decision by Netscape was based on the desire to keep the browser size small.

    Netscape has encouraged Bitstream to develop a dynamic font plug-in for Netscape 6 and Bitstream is actively working to build such a plug-in.

    Till the dynamic font plug-in for Netscape 6 is developed you will have to view Rediff.com's Hindi edition in any of the Netscape 4X versions.
