Use of Non-Roman Character Sets on Public Web Browsers

[Charles W. Bailey, Jr.]

We are considering the question of whether to install non-roman fonts
(e.g., Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) on public workstation Web browsers.
What are other academic libraries in English speaking countries doing in
this regard?  If such support is provided, how are decisions made about
what languages to support?   What human resources (e.g., linguistic
expertise), financial, technical, or user support issues have emerged? 

Thanks for your help.
Best Regards,
Charles
