Netcape 4.7 is not working either Mozilla is better (I can see Lech Walesa), but still I can't see the international links. IE is writing ?
Is that worth that I try to import some polices ?

Hmm, I don't think the fonts should make a difference.
For a while at work I used a Mac running OS 9; with IE it would corrupt unicode characters on meta-wikipedia when editing, but on the same computer with Netscape 7 I could see them and edit pages without corruption. The machine had the same set of fonts available either way, so it seems to be just the browser.

I think there are both problem. Even if your browser can handle unicode, you can't see caracters not defined in your font. I'm using MS Arial Unicode with IE6.0 and I still not be able to see 100% of unicode characters. In my case I think it's only a font problem. You can go to this page and look at what percentage of caracters you can see : http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html (it's a UTF8 sample page).

Opera 5 has no unicode support - Opera 6 was the unicode rewrite. Both Opera (6+) and Mozilla support unicode natively - the only thing you have to do to get it working is to install an appropriate font. However, even if you have the font, IE doesn't display some writing systems until you "install support" by downloading a large patch to your operating system. (A fully multilingual installation of IE6 weighs in at around 85MB)
