Gujarati is the official language of Gujarat state, on the west coast of India, with an area of 196,024 square kilometers. Within the Republic of India, Gujarat borders with Rajasthan, Madhyapradesh, and Maharashtra; it also borders with Pakistan to the northwest. The languages spoken in the areas contiguous to the Gujarat within India are Marwari, Hindi, and Marathi. The 1991 census of India reports 40,673,814 speakers, accounting for approximately five percent (4.85%) of the population. This includes Gujaratis living outside Gujarat state, in Maharashtra (Mumbai has a substantial Gujarati population), Rajasthan, Madhyapradesh and Karnatak. Gujarati speakers also reside in many other countries, principally Pakistan, Singapore, Fiji, South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United states, and Canada.

Unicode fonts are the way to go... no need for a font install.... supported by windows and browsers as well..
BTW anyone knows a nice unicode text editor ? I tried Aksharmala , but than no option to save as html or copy paste into other app also not supported ... koi idea how can I simple type into a guju language and create different types of docs like word , html , etc etc The way is not in the sky, the way is in the heart. --Gautama Buddha
