garbled postings

[Ros’ Haruo]

Does this "garbled posts" thing have to do with Wikipedia? As far as fonts, 
I think that's a user-end thing that wouldn't affect Wikipedia. The problem 
would be encodings, not fonts. Wikimedia generally use Unicode, as we all 
should ;-) so that it's possible to have Cherokee syllabics, Cree syllabics, 
Sanskrit, Japanese and Vietnamese (and potentially even Kamloops Wawa) all 
on the same page.

But I don't think the problem was with reference to Wikipedia, it sounded 
like an email problem.
