I don't know about this specific browser, but I ran into one for the Mac that is
advertised as multilingual. I don't know what the big deal is about these
multilingual browsers. If multilingual means you are able to read documents with
8
bit fonts and in the various codings (Latin-2 etc.), than I doubt there are any
browsers that can't do that. I myself use Netscape. I set it up so that it uses
a
KOI-8 fixed width and proportional font, and Western (MacRoman) encoding, and
PRESTO!
For creating HTML documents I use BBEdit, which allows me to select a KOI-8
default
font.
