Hi,

A bit more on this.

With luck, I'll have some time to play with this over the weekend. It
will give me some incentive to install new versions of the browsers.

OK. This was trivally easy to configure even though updating the browers
is still a round tuit.

As I mentioned automatic encoding detection should be automatic. Also, I
did not emphasize it, but encoding is only indirectly related to fonts.
The encoding determines how the octets (i.e. received data bytes) are
interpreted and coverted to the internal format used by the browser
(Unicode in this case).

To get non-Western languages to display, you need to tell the browser
which fonts to use for which languages. With Seamonkey, this is
Preferences->Appearance->Fonts. For each language, you need to select
fonts you want to use to display the glyphs for that language.

Once I did this for both the Serif and the Sans Serif fonts, the Wikipedia
page displayed as expected. The Japan Studies site still does not display
all the larger characters correctly, but I did not fully configure the
font options for each language.

Steven
