I keep seeing question marks on rendered web pages in Mozilla 1.5 on XP. They display normally when I manually select a "Western" encoding, but I have to keep doing it. I changed perm preferences to "Western", but some pages seem to ignore it, probably seeing "charset" pick unicode in the HTML headers.

Perhaps I should focus on why Unicode is not displaying correctly rather than try to force it to Western.

(I am not sure which topic to put this in because I don't know if the "fault" is Mozilla, Windows, or something else.)

What web pages and what characters is this happening on?

If I come across one again, I will post a link.

But I find it hard to believe that even MS would make as boneheaded a mistake as leave a ISO-8859-1 character out of the Unicode font.

Perhaps they did it on purpose to make Netscape/Mozilla look bad. MS has a habbit of "creative omission". For example, there are bugs in MS-Access that MS does not fix even after many versions have passed. They tell you to upgrade to SQL-Server if Access "cannot handle it". You can do this if you are your only competition.

Note that IE will render the same characters correctly. Thus, it is appearently using a different translation table than Mozilla.
