[WEB4LIB] foreign language characters in browsers

[Bin Zhang]

Hi, Julia,

IE has a much better support for foreign languages then Netscape.  With
the latest version of IE, you should be able to view both Japanese and
Arabic.  Of course, you need to installed the optional language support
from IE site.  They are not installed by default.

With IE, you can also input CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) without an
external software (such as NJStar).  To input Arabic, you probably have
to get a program to do it.

Good luck.

Bin
