I'm talking about new ones and also existing ones that would like to migrate to unicode. The extra effort would be having (some backend script generate) the same content in 3 forms depending on the capability of the browser (in order of preference): 1. unicode 2. font embedding using eot/pfr 3. text as gifs/pngs The only problem is that automatic detection of browser capabilities can be error prone, so for instance, users would have to click on a link like "Click here for a graphic version of this page" or somesuch to get option #3. > IE on Windows > is not a 'non-Unicode enabled browser' What about IE on Windows98? Unfortunately a lot of people (e.g., Bangladeshi cybercafes) are still using that combination. -Sajed ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Yahoo.
