FW: [WEB4LIB] foreign language characters in browsers

[Gimon, Charles A]

IE 5.5, when installed with all the optional language support, should be
able to do this. When I did this, the Japanese keyboard input part installed
automatically; I had to install an Arabic keyboard/input locale separately
(but I didn't have to purchase or download anything extra). This was on
Windows NT 4.0.

Does anyone know of a way to support both Japanese and
Arabic in Netscape and/or IE?

I have tried NJWIN to provide our users with Japanese
language support on the web.  I love it, but I haven't been
given the funding to buy it for all of our terminals.  We
have one Saudi student who uses the Web extensively and if
it is possible, I'd like to help him out, too.  I have not
been able to find anything for Arabic comparable to NJWIN
which provides excellent support for
Chinese/Japanese/Korean.
