I have installed Latin-2 encoding, Arial Unicode MS, and Aruniupd.exe, and yet I cannot read many of the Croatian, Slovenian, Slovak, and Romanian characters on the wiki pages describing their languages and grammars. [Ð, Ç, Š, etc.]. I run Windows ME and Internet Explorer 5.5. I'd greatly appreciate some advice. Thanks.

I would suggest that it is your browser that is giving you trouble. Head over to http://getfirefox.com and use the browser in which everything looks good: Mozilla Firefox. You'll be more secure, too. :-).

It would help a great deal if you could link to the precise pages which are giving you trouble, so that we could check that the encoding is actually correct.
In the meantime, you could do a lot worse than to seek out the "CODE2000" font, which is free, download and install it, and tell your browser to use it.

I unfortunately don't have IE in front of me or I would tell you specifically how to get around it, but you might hunt around to change your default "Text Encoding". You should be able to specify somewhere that the page is in a "non-standard" character set, which should magically fix the problem. By default, pages are rendered as "Western" -- you probably want to change this to "Central European".
