[thelist] Internet Explorer Install on Demand

[Syed Zeeshan Haider]

Hello Experts,
I some times arrive to the sites, which are written in those characters,
which my machine does not recognise e.g. Japanese and Chinese sites. In
this case a dialog box appears with "Internet Explorer Install on
Demand" in its title bar. Remaining box says:
"To display this page correctly, you need to download and install the
following components.
Loading . . . please wait"
And in this way it goes forth. The question is, how this dialogue box is
made to appear and from where it downloads those "components"? Can I
compel my user to install the font used on my site in this way? For
instance I have a font "Urdu Web". It is Windows based font and deals
with Urdu language characters. Can I compel my user to download this
font in above mentioned way?
Thank you,
Syed Zeeshan Haider.
