Flash Player and Devanagari

I have been trying to use the website pronunciator.com to take their online Hindi course, however the Devanagari script in the lessons (which utilize Flash Player) show up as empty boxes. I am on Mac OS 10.11.1 and have tried the site with the latest versions of Safari, Firefox and Chrome to no avail. I am able to see the text in Windows 10, although I did have to download and install East Asian support software to get it to work. I opened a support ticket with the site, but their advice (use the Kohinoor font) was of no help. I am enclosing a screenshot of the Mac and Windows display. Thanks for any help!

You're seeing the boxes because the font required isn't available on your system.  The squares are displayed because there are no relevant glyphs available.  We don't offer native support for devanagari.  It's possible that the content provider could embed the font into the SWF, but that would greatly inflate the size of the SWF.
