Re: Chinese/Pali: Fixing 'blank boxes'

Dear Walter,

I clicked on all four sites but upon getting there I
couldn't quite figure out what to click on next.
However, upon getting there I realised I needed
unicode fonts too.

http://orwell.ru/test/download/ has got too many
choices of the Unicode fonts, what should I click for
current Pali use?

http://www.math.utah.edu/~beebe/fonts/unicode.html#fonts
has got even Unicode MORE choices.... confused!!!

http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts.html#traditional
Tradtional (Chinese) Fonts seemed pretty straight
forward until I got sent straight to Hong Kong with no
hint as to what to click on next.

http://seba.ulyssis.org/thesis/howto-fonts.php so
what do I click?

A little bit of cookbook style instructions would be a
relief. However, I do know how to install the fonts
on my Win 98 platform once downloaded.

Thanks in advance
