As far as I know, no language scripts are installed on the
machine I tested on. I looked at the page:

  http://www.macos.apple.com/multilingual/languagekits.html

Language kits for the following 7 languages are available
at an approximate cost of $900 total (+tax +shipping):

  Arabic & Persian
  Chinese
  Cyrillic
  Hebrew
  Indian
  Japanese
  Korean

I am interested in supporting at least ISO-8859-1 through 9,
and it looks like some needed language packs may not be
available. What do I do about Greek? Do I really have to
pay $900+ because I want to test my HTML for other languages?
Why isn't the converted Cyberbit enough (at least for NS 4.01)?
I did not see any mention of Unicode anywhere on the page.

Thanks,
