On a Mac with OS X, it works fine with both Internet Explorer 5 and
OmniWeb 4, the only problem being the aforementioned Mari front rounded
vowels. That is, as already stated, a font/glyph problem, though, and
not a problem with the OS or browser. Mac OS X comes with all the
necessary fonts, including CJK fonts, preinstalled, but the fonts
appearantly does not cover the latest version of Unicode.
