Not sure how this site is doing things, but products like FAIRY
(http://www.em2-solutions.com/apps/fairy/fairy.htm from the company formerly
known as Borware) have been around for quite some time.

Subject: How the regional Online- News papers are able to display all the
characters

Hi ,
            I would like to know how the regional news paper websites are
able to display all the characters through webbrowser without asking the
user to download any new fonts.When I viewed the source , there was a link
to a file with " .pfr " extension.can anybody tell me how to open these
files and what is it meant for?
More over it the site is not using any unicode fonts.How they are able to
render the text in regional languages so clearly.
You can just visit the following site and send me Your comments regarding my
questions.
