How do you configure Firefox to display non-English fonts?  I'm
interested in Korean fonts, but the info is also relevant for Chinese or
Japanese fonts.

    1.  I have English Firefox.  When displaying Korean characters in
	webpage, it simply displays square box with hex numbers.  When I go
	to
	    Edit | Preferences | Fonts&Colors | Korean
	I'm given options of 'serif', 'san-serif', etc. which are the same
	selection for 'Western' case.

	Netscape-7.1 can display Korean characters.  And, I'm given proper
	font selection (ie. daewoo-...) when I go under 'Fonts&Colors'
	menus.

    2.  I installed Korean language version of Firefox.  Here, all menus
	are in Korean.  But, all I see is, again, square boxes with hex
	numbers.
    
Is there anyone here who has successfully configured Firefox to work
with Chinese/Japanese/Korean language?  I don't think you need special
language version just to see the characters on screen.  For inputing,
you probably need a language version.
