You are not following! On my PC, the checkboxes are NOT checked, except the last checkbox on the Advanced tab IS checked. I don't have a language bar in my tray. The problem is that some Web sites are internationalized and that Gecko (at least within SeaMonkey 1.1.*) does not have an option to ignore the requests regarding Asian fonts (or any other non-installed fonts). -- David E.
