 * I haven't been able to find out what font I need to display everything in Wikipedia properly.
 * I see that there are many fonts available when I search, but
 * so far I have been unable to find a page to help me understand why my browser won't display certain text.
 * An example: When I navigate to the following page: (I_Know)_I'm_Losing_You
 * on the right side of the page are some info boxes. At the top of each info box is a line that displays the title of the song, and perhaps the title is surrounded by quotes or something--I can't tell because what I see are three garbled characters (in sequence: an accented letter 'a', a square, another square) â.
 * Huh. The quotes render propetly for me. Could you ask at the help desk perhaps? Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 01:51, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Further information: Browsers
 * Opera is my browser of choice (using v.9.52)
 * When I use Firefox on the same computer, I can see all the text okay.
 * I found a solution to my problem after fiddling around with some menu items I hadn't considered previously.
 * Open Wikipedia page with garbled type.
 * In Opera, navigate to View/Encoding/Automatic Selection.
 * The page automatically reloaded, displaying the type correctly.
 * Okay, so it works now? Good. By the way, new posts go to the bottom of talk pages. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 02:18, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
