It depends on which font you normally use. I use Lucida Sans Typ which has
a relatively limited character support. If someone were to write to me
using say the Cyrillic (KOI8-R) charset (Russians typically use this
font), and I hit reply, the editor appears using Courier New, instead of
my font.

Three fonts that I realize have excellent character support are Courier
New, Andale Mono and Lucida Console. You will not see what I'm talking
about if you use one of those fonts normally.

Also, if you communicate only with English speakers that use plain ASCII
characters or Latin-1 (ISO..) then you very likely will not experience the
automatic font change that I'm referring to.
