Padma is a Firefox plugin that enables users to read various Indic websites by converting their non-standard text to Unicode text. Padma has supported Anandabazar Patrika (ABP), the largest Bengali newspaper, for more than two years now. However, ABP (also Bartaman Patrika) support in Padma has a major matra-rendering bug which is explained in details here.
Couple of months ago, I made an effort toward fixing the above issue. You can get an improved version of Padma from here. This version resolves most of the matra rendering issue (if not all) for both Anandabazar Patrika (ABP) and Bartaman Patrika.

i am presently in sudan (africa).i cannot read anadabazar patrika on my computer.only todays first page can be seen.tried to load bengali fonts.failed.pl help me.
Hello,
Earlier I never used to face any problem in navigating through your website.
But now-a-days I find that whenever I try to navigate from the first page to any other pages through the tabs present in the first page, internet explorer stops working and states “Data Execution Prevention” has closed internet explorer so that my computer remains protected.
In case this information might be of any use, please note that I use Windows Vista.
Could you work out a solution to this problem? It would be of great help to people like us whose only means to keep in touch with Calcutta is your website.
Thanks and regards

Hello,
The ANANDABAZAR bengali fonts do not display correctly on the newest firefox version 3.5.3. I use mac (so do not know how it is on a pc) and the FIREFOX got autoupdated and ever since the fonts are not working!!! I even downloaded the latest version of padma (15?) but to no avail! …tried to go back to older firefox version, but, that didn’t work either. It is really terrible:( … It would be greatly appreciated if you could please look in to it. Thank you sooooo much.
Cheers,
