Robin -

With Win98, it's probably not worth the effort, although you can get some improvement fairly easily.

The "book" (mentioned above) is about 900 pages. Do want the whole thing?

You can try Setting up Windows Internet Explorer 5, 5.5 and 6 for Multilingual and Unicode Support for some clues.

That site is a bit obsolete, but may give some help.

A real problem is that although Windows includes a couple of "extended fonts" there are virtually no font sets easily available that include all the characters that Unicode can describe.

The next problem is that once you figure out how to do it on your machine, you have to convince the rest of the world that they must do it your way, or nobody will be able to read what you post.
