But that's because you haven't set your computer to read UTF-8. Those
languages are Japanese and Korean. I can't think of anything I could do at
the server end. If your computer doesn't display UTF-8 fonts, there's
probably nothing I can do.
Can you see UTF-8 fonts on the Wikipedia page?

Cheers,

Thanks for the tips, but even after selecting UTF-8 (and "auto-select") on
IE6, there are some unresolved "little boxes" on both the new front page and
on wikipedia. Nothing serious: I know, more-or-less, what I'm missing. (I
also tried changing to both of the two "Western European" fonts. The
displays did change, but not, I think, correctly).
On the current "new front page", the languages that do not display are the
one between Espanol and Francais, and the one at the bottom of the left-had
list.
Congrats on all the work of the last couple of days! The page does look
great.
