I would like to say they even have no need to install fonts ... just
turning their "browser" language encoding setting from US-en or
Latin-1 (iso-8859-1) to UTC-8. Sometimes font installation is
necessary, but in most cases tuning browser setting is adequate, I
found it from my experience.

Is this the Wikimedia
Foundation that allows people to edit its project anonymously ? Does
this whole idea not reek of bad faith ? How hard is it to have people
install fonts if they object to having to see ??????
A minor point, but...
What about the people who edit from computers on which they can not
install software? Public computers, computers at work, the parents' or
boyfriends' computer. Lots of people do this from time to time. Then
we have people like me. I've tried a couple of times to get Japanese
characters in my box simply because I think it would be cool but I
have failed, maybe because my OS is old and stuff is not supported any
more - maybe because I just did it wrong. (No info on how to do that
in this thread, please. I promise you, the first three things you'll
tell me I have already tried - and it does not belong on this list,
anyhow.)
