Hi,

I see the www.guruchandali.com website a lot, which use a ttf bengali font (not a unicode). In earlier version, I used to place the banglaplain.ttf in .mozilla/res folder, but in this ff 5.0 there is no 'res' folder. Also, the banglaplain.ttf is not accessed from the /usr/share/fonts. Now, how I can see the bangla fonts in ff 5?

The usual location for installing that font would be in the ~/.fonts/b folder. That location work in Firefox 3 and 4 for me. That font doesn't seem to be compatible with Firefox 5 (Aurora) and the Nightly build. Both do not use the font even if I select it directly as the default font. I have another font BanglaFontNormal.ttf that still works in Firefox 5 and 7 if I select it. I don't know if that has the same mapping because I can't read that script.
