if you wanted to make the site a lot more accessible you could use some of the latin transcription schemes instead of the authentic fonts-or in addition to them-you'll always get people wanting contact with a language they know nothing about (like myself).

Hi Flash,

The fonts should already be available in your OS, you just need to enable/download/install them. Your OS should have full support for entering text in all the different languages.

On Windows XP:

(1) Go to Control Panel
(2) Double click on "Regional and Language Options"
(3) Click on "Languages" tab
(4) Click the "Details" button under "Text services and input languages"
(5) Click on "Add..." to add all the languages you want to type in.

Also, in the "Languages" tab, you should also click on "Install files for East Asian languages" if you want to enter in Asian languages like Chinese, Japanese and Korean. You may also choose to install files for right-to-left languages in that same tab.

On Windows 7:

(1) Go to Control Panel
(2) Click on Clock, Language, and Region
(3) Click on "Change keyboards or other input methods"
(4) Go to the "Keyboards and Languages" tab.
(5) Click on "Change keyboards..." button.
(6) Select all the languages you want to type in.
(7) You can also go to the "Language Bar" tab and choose where you want the Language Bar to appear. The language bar allows you to switch between different IMEs (Input Method Editors) quickly. For example, from the Language Bar you can choose to enter in English, German, Chinese etc.

Note that if you try to enter in a language and some of the text appear as empty rectangular boxes, you will need to install the corresponding language pack. To do this:

(1) Go to Windows Update
(2) Go to "optional updates"
(3) Check the language packs that you're interested in and then install them (note that you only need to do this if you don't have the fonts).
