This message was  originally submitted by [log in to unmask] to the  LLTI list at
LISTSERV.DARTMOUTH.EDU. If you simply forward it back to the list, using a mail
command that generates "Resent-" fields (ask your local user support or consult
the documentation of your mail program if in doubt), it will be distributed and
the explanations you  are now reading will be removed  automatically. If on the
other hand you edit the contributions you  receive into a digest, you will have
to remove this  paragraph manually. Finally, you should be  able to contact the
author  of this  message by  using  the normal  "reply" function  of your  mail
program.

Anna,

At the university of Maryland we have WebCT courses in Spanish, French, 
German, Russian and Japanese using WebCT 3.8.  Because WebCT 3.8 uses 
UTF8, we have had no problems using special characters or non-western 
fonts.  However, converting pages that had been encoded in other font 
types for earlier WebCT versions was a hurdle.
