Case -1: No Fonts Display in Internet Explorer

www.thegoodnews.in uses Web Embedding Fonts Technology (WEFT) for displaying malayalam contents. Currently WEFT supports only on Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0+ browsers on Windows platform.

In older versions If the Malayalam pages page doesn't display correctly, Please change your browser settings.

Go to "View" -> "Encoding" and select "User Defined". 

If you are unable to view dynamic fonts, especially if you cannot view fonts that you were able to view in the past, clear the browser's cache. You can perform this operation without having to restart your browser.You can force Internet Explorer (Windows only) to refresh a single page regardless of what's stored in the cache. Hold down the Shift key and click Refresh. To clear the entire cache, follow this procedure.

Choose View > Internet Options. Internet Explorer displays the Internet Options dialog box. On the General tab under Temporary Internet files, click Delete Files. Click OK to close the dialog box, and then click Refresh on the toolbar to reload the page.
