First of all, please don't send me the e-mails and CC to the mailing
list, because this way I receive your e-mails TWICE.

I know about other languages. I've used that system to write sentences
e.g. in greek, arab and hebrew. MicroSoft's "Times New Roman" font has
all the necessary characters. Please tell me if you can see the romanian
t and s letters with comma (not cedilla) in my page (I changed it to add
four romanian characters, capital and small). That's a way to let all
languages be shown, independently of the selected encoding. I can see in
my Latin-1 system characters that don't exist in Latin-1 nor even in any
Latin-x.
But I must agree that it's a very hard way to create a webpage. It's
hard in spanish, so I can imagine how hard can it be in other languages
like yours.
