On Windows 95 I had no problems displaying any NCR that I
tried using Netscape Communicator 4.01. The keys were:
1. Install the Bitstream Cyberbit TT font.
2. In Preferences, use the above font for encoding "Unicode"
3. Set the encoding to UTF-8 (I used <META>)
I tried the same thing with the Mac version of Communicator
(after converting the TT font to a Mac font and following
the above steps) the NCRs were not recognized. Maybe this
is a Netscape issue, in which case it should be taken offline.
Perhaps Frank could respond to me personally.
I could not get Cyberdog to work at all. In fact, the only
encodings available from the pulldown were Western (MacOS) and
Western (ISO 8859-1).
