Though I am able to see the old font (which is there on the website) in MS Word's font list, your new font hindi_latest.ttf is not there. with the old font you will see something written in hindi in MS Word font list. if you type something selecting that font it will appear in hindi. I just copied the font in C:\winnt.0\fonts directory. I am using a Win NT server 4.0. you need to start MS word after you have copied the font.
