When I look at my list of results in the Browse View, sometimes I see boxes instead of characters.  Will you fix this? 

This diacritics display has already been fixed and a proper view may depend on your browser settings. 

For best results when viewing web-based resources, specify a Unicode font in your browser (font settings are found in Options or Preferences).  Using a Unicode font lets you take full advantage of the system's adoption of the Unicode standard for character encoding.  For an extensive set of diacritics and special characters, OCLC recommends that you have the Arial Unicode Microsoft font (Arial Unicode MS) installed on your workstation and specified in your browser.  Microsoft provides the font with many applications, including Microsoft Office 2000, Office XP, FrontPage 2000, and Publisher 2002. 

You can find instructions to set your browser font settings in OCLC Connexion's Help. 

For Microsoft Internet Explorer, follow these steps to select Arial Unicode MS font display. 

Note: For best results with Connexion and other sites or applications, select Unicode fonts for both Latin Based and User Defined language scripts. 

1. On the Tools menu click Internet Options. 
2. In the Internet Options dialog box, on the General tab, click the Fonts button. 
3. In the Fonts dialog box, from the Language Script list, select Latin Based. 
4. Under Web Page Font, select Arial Unicode MS. 
5. Under Plain Text Font, select a Unicode font if one is listed. 
6. In the Fonts dialog box, from the Language Script list, select User Defined. 
7. Under Web Page Font, select Arial Unicode MS. 
8. Under Plain Text Font, select a Unicode font if one is listed. 
9. Click OK to close the Fonts dialog box. Then click OK again to close the Internet Options dialog box. 

For Netscape, follow these steps to select Arial Unicode MS font display. 

Note: For best results with Connexion and other sites or applications, select Unicode fonts for both Unicode and Western encoding.
