Dear Simos,
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick help.

Not only does the text overflow in Opera and Firefox, they do not render the text correctly. I now realise from another source that this is the problem with both the browser, as they do not support Open Type. Internet Explorer does support Open Type so the problem is not that serious for time being.

Currently, I am interested in just posting my entries in Gujarati. I do not need to modify/edit my Word Press setup, as at least IE users can read my blog correctly.

However, I would like to participate in localisation process of Word Press, and would like to work on translation/localisation process simultaneously. I want to encourage non English content on the net especially for my community. I have downloaded PoEdit. Can you guide me to any document on WP Codex which specifies/guides localisation of WordPress?

Regards,
-hemang
