But, it would mean that the Internet Explorer user would have to manually switch the [View] - [Encoding] to user defined in order to see the page, thus loading the page twice. With the character set set to x-user-defined, the page loads right the first time in IntExp. (In Opera, it seems to load OK either way.) Several of the popular browsers are also more accepting of non-core fonts under the "User Defined" selection and specifying user defined may help disable undesirable font switching mechanisms.
