None of them display correctly. I am running on 0.3 on MacOS X 10.1..5. With all
languages and fonts install 

In other hand, all the Greek, Latin2, Hebrew, Cyrillic or Turkish page are
disply correctly (if you choosee  "Greece" , "Hungary", "Isreal" , "Russia",
"Turkey" "Ukraine" )

I can see those chinese, Japanese Korean page display correctly with Netscape7
PR1 or Mozilla 1.0. don't know why

Tested with 07-01 build on OS 10.1.5.

This does not seem to have fixed the characters display issue.  Went to the
Apple chinese/japanese/korean/chinese sites noted in the original bug report. 
Clicked on the "Hot News" menu item in each of their respective languages.  Note
that these four pages display Asian characters properly, but that's because the
Asian characters are images here, not actual characters.

Reopening.
