Several pages on Wikipedia use Ge'ez scripts to illustrate the native representation of names, places, quotes and literature. Unicode is the encoding used on Wikipedia and it contains support for a number of Ge'ez scripts. However, before Ge'ez scripts can be viewed or edited, special software is occasionally necessary based on your environment.

This page lists the methods for enabling viewing and editing based on the operating environment or browser you are using. Many of the methods highlighted can be used for non-Ge'ez complex scripts such as Arabic.

Check for existing support
The following table compares how a correctly enabled computer would render the following scripts with how your computer renders them:

If the rendering on your computer matches the rendering in the images for the scripts, then you have already enabled complex text support! You should be able to view text correctly in that script. However this does not mean you will be able to edit text in that script. To edit such text you need to have the appropriate text entry software on your operating system.

Viewing Ge'ez script
A font must be downloaded and installed. In the Unicode section several locations are given for fonts. One of these must be downloaded and copied to your fonts folder. To do so:
 * Naviagte to a font link in the links in the Unicode fonts section
 * Right-click on the file link and left-click "Save Link as..."
 * Save to folder: C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\
 * Restart your browser, the font should now appear correctly.
