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,

We have implemented a course in Chinese, using WebCT 3.8 Campus 
Edition.  The text is written in Traditional Chinese Big5, and the 
character font specifically requested by the instructor is BiauKai.  
Once Traditional Chinese Big5 encoding is selected in the browser,  the 
site is readable using Netscape and Safari, it does not work in IE.  
With the previous edition of WebCT 3.7 this exact same site was 
readable only in IE.
