A friend of mine here at work pointed me at this web page www.fhlcell.org where there are a lot of Chinese characters on the page.

Interestingly enough, on my CentOS 5.2 system, with both Seamoneky 1.1.11 and Firefox 3.0, we were unable to get the characters to display properly (they showed up as the little four number boxes instead).

However, on his Ubuntu system, using Firefox, they displayed just fine. Also, I just tested it in Win XP and both Seamonkey 1.1.11 and IE display it correctly.

What's going on?

I presume you need to load extensions that handle the characters. When I set up FF 3, there were *many* extensions relating to languages.

I can't help beyond that.
