Red,
Which characters do you need to read specifically?

red, the best I can tell you is, a few years ago when I was still using Netscape 4.7, I downloaded various fonts from Micro$soft and did whatever one does to get them to work in Netscape.
Then when Opera 6 came out with Unicode support, these fonts worked for me automatically in Opera.
Earlier today using K-M, I was visiting a couple of Japanese and Russian sites, and the fonts were there in K-M. In fact, at this moment I have hongkong.com open in another layer on K-M, and the Chinese characters are there.
As far as I can remember, I didn't do anything special in K-M to get these fonts to work. Other than having them among the fonts on my computer.

Hi
some pages are working automatically.
For example this page dont!
http://www.ikazz.com/
With Opera or IE I can change the font and read the page correctly.

red, hi, is that site in Thai? I tried to view that site in K-Meleon 0.7, Opera 6.05, and MSIE 5.5, and it wouldn't work right in any of them, no font at all, just random hieroglypics.
Of course I don't ordinarily have a Thai font installed on my computer. But I reinstalled the Code 2000 Unicode font, and verified that this gave me a Thai font in Opera. Still no luck getting the site to display correctly, on Opera or on K-M.
Then I forced Opera to interpret the coding as Thai (instead of using automatic detection) and the page displayed in Thai. Whether intelligibly or not, I have no idea!
Is there some way in K-M to override automatic detection of fonts? Some lines that could be added to prefs.js, perhaps?

The web site below, will take you a link on a
Language Pack for displaying pages in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. While the download says it works with K-Meleon 0.6, it
'might' work with K-Meleon 0.7 too. Please let us know.
