    asian fonts in konqueror

    Hi,
    Firefox has a nice feature that allows to select the type of fonts we want to use in function of the language being displayed, for instance for western I can choose serif, times new roman, arial, and courier new; and for korean, sans serif, batang, arial unicodems, and batangche. I was wondering if there was a way to have a similar functionality in konqueror. Indeed, if I choose arial in konqueror for instance and a korean character is not in the arial font, it will display a square instead of the proper font that could have been found simply in another font set (batan, gulim...). I heard about qt3config but this would not allow me to use a full set of nice korean fonts on korean web pages...
    Any hints on that?
    Thanks.
    A.

    I'm not entirely sure, but the squares that are displayed are caused by that certain charadcter not being assigned an image in that particular font. Once back in my windows days I downloaded a Sindarin (lord of the rings) font and any keystroke that was not assigned a symbol displayed the square box. It sounds like the fonts are not properly installed
