How do I make Polish fonts appear correctly?

In some browser versions, Polish fonts will appear automatically. If that is not the case with your browser, it's just a question of loading the language in your browser.

Netscape 3.0 does not support Polish Fonts.

For Netscape 4.5, from the menu bar SELECT the following:

> Edit
> Preferences...
> The Preferences dialog box will appear; Double click on Navigator in the Category list box on the left side until Languages appears below it
> SELECT Languages and a dialog box with your languages appears; SELECT the button Add...
> The Add Language dialog box will appear; scroll down and find Polish [pl] and click on it to highlight it, then press the button OK
> You will return to the previous dialog box (Preferences) and Polish [pl] will appear in the list
> Press OK to accept the changes you just made and to return to your browser

For Internet Explorer 5.0, from the menu bar SELECT the following:

> Tools
> Internet Options..
> The Internet Options dialog box will appear, at the bottom there is a button called Languages...
> The Language Preferences dialog box will appear; if Polish does not appear in the Language list box, SELECT the button Add...
> The Add Language dialog box will appear; scroll down and find Polish [Programmers] and click on it to highlight it, then press the button OK
> You will return to the previous dialog box (Language Preferences) and Polish [pl] will appear in the list
> Press the button OK to return to the Internet Options dialog box
> Press OK to accept the changes you just made and to return to your browser
