Classification Web Uses Unicode to Display Content
Class Web supports the full range of characters available in the Unicode display.
While vernacular language data will be added to areas of the classification database over time,
any records that include diacritics will display in a more visually pleasing manner when using Unicode.
IMPORTANT: To correctly view the Unicode pages that are returned to your web browser, customers
using Microsoft Internet Explorer are advised to change their browser font to Arial Unicode MS,
provided it is installed on your computer. See the instructions below on how to make this change.
The Netscape, Mozilla and Firefox browsers all do a very nice job of displaying diacritics using
the regular Arial font.
Steps for changing the display font in MSIE:
- At the top of the browser window on the MSIE menu, click on Tools and select Internet Options....
- Near the bottom of the dialog box, click on the button labeled Fonts to display your font choices.
- In the drop down box titled Language script make sure that Latin based is selected.
- Select a font from the list in the box on the left hand side of the dialog box. The best choice is
Arial Unicode MS. If that selection is not displayed, it means that the font is not installed on
your computer. In that case, try Lucida Sans Unicode.
- Click on the OK button on each screen to save your choices and return to main web browser display.
The font change will be immediate.
Those customers without Arial Unicode MS, should note that Lucida Sans Unicode is not as complete as
Arial Unicode MS and is bold faced. However, users may prefer it over the default font of Arial.
