I am not able to view punjabi fonts on Punjabi

If possible, you should consider upgrading to Fedora
Core 4. Much of the Indian language stuff works out
of the box, and the version of Firefox is enabled for
Indic languages.
I tried a lot in Preferences and have installed
kde3-i18n-pa-3.3.0-3.noarch.rpm and
punjali-0.2-2.i386.rpm but still not
able to view them.

kde3 is irrelevant here. Don't know what is in the
punjabi RPM. If you are unable to see any Punjabi at
all, the chances are that no Punjabi font is
installed. You can check with
fc-list :lang=pa
which for me shows
Lohit Punjabi:style=Regular
On Fedora Core 4, the RPM for Punjabi fonts is
fonts-punjabi-1.10-2. Look for a similarly named one
for RH9, or try the pages of the Punjabi Linux project
http://punlinux.sourceforge.net, or their download
page at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=98471
You can probably get Punjabi-specific help more
quickly from their mailing lists, linked to from the
homepage.
If you see some Punjabi characters, but things like
conjuncts are garbled, the problem probably is that
your Firefox version does not support Indic fonts.
Get such a build, e.g., from the Punjabi Linux
download page.
Finally, it is also possible that you are looking at
a non-Unicode webpage which uses some proprietary
font. Check if you can view this page:
