To support such a (simple) language on the web, you need web fonts.
Then install a bloody font! It's a matter of dragging it into the right folder on Windows and the Macintosh; I think XP will let you left click on the font and select Install from there. How much easier can it get? (All recent versions of Linux have a Hawaiian font installed, by default.) Anyone who needs 24/7 net access should either buy a laptop (if they have real needs) or learn what a vacation is _for_.
