The thing with APL characters is that ... sooner or later you're going to need a special font (due to new characters being added). I don't have the resources to keep track of which pages only have the _old_ APL chars and which have _new_ APL chars. In addition, just because you can see the APL characters doesn't mean the characters on the page look the way the way the author(s) intended. It depends on the vagaries of miscellaneous settings on your machine. For example, ∇ and ⍷ look like del and epsilon underbar on my machine, and I _have_ the APL385 font installed, but they still look bigger than the other chars, sometimes much bigger.
So ... the first step is to _require_ the APL385 font. If there are still problems, "To resolve (or at least explain) problems with displaying APL characters see ...". I don't want to have a big discussion on APL chars. Y'all should use J ☺.
