This font seems to be the same as the Rachana font you wrote about on Feb 3 2007. It doesn't render properly, here's a screenshot:

goofy -- How about if you look at this page using Firefox?

Yes, in Firefox it looks fine. But weirdly, the text I see in Safari doesn't look like the image of the "Imperfect rendering in Safari". It's rendered worse.
I am using Leopard, Safari 5.0.6. have installed rachana for mac. Neither safari nor firefox (3x, or 12) can display the font correctly. I have tried all that I could, but sadly, the result has been very bad. any other solution?
nmpost -- try using the font at

Time to upgrade your OS, nobody has time to fix things that are 5 years behind.
