With 'Multinlinguial Internet Access' installed, I guess Netscape
4.0x/4.5(and perhaps MS IE 4.x) running under MacOS 8.5(for that matter,
Mac OS 7.5x or later with all necessary fonts installed) can render all
the characters covered by Apple's LK's in a *single* web page encoded in
UTF-8 just like Unix/X11 version of Netscape can render UTF-8 encoded
pages with a collection of fonts (namely, "pseudo-Unicode font") without
a "big Unicode font". Is it correct?

Could you point me where I can find more about ATSUI? Thank you,
