Sincerely, One thing you can do to help browsers select good fonts for scripts of your interest is to specify langauge tags (html lang and xml:lang) in your documents. Needless to say, you'd better make all your processings in terms of Unicode. [ long and detailed answer snipped...] > To find suitable fonts, search the web (e.g. use Google). One of good places where you'll find a lot of useful fonts supporting various subsets of Unicode is http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/ BTW, complex script support (Brahmi-derived scripts of South and Southeast Asia, Arabic/Hebrew and Korean) is highly platform and browser dependent. For instance, there's a BIG difference between Win9x/ME and Win2k/XP. Jungshik
