But it occurs to me that charset support is properly a function of the operating system, not of an application such as Netscape. Indeed, whenever I install an OS[1] or compile a kernel, *I* select what charsets I want it to support. Why should Netscape re-invent that wheel? Or are you saying Netscape can't use the charsets you do have on your OS? And if so, is that a setup issue (as with fonts, where it needs a fontpath to work) or a genuine bug?
