The problem of the original poster was that Netscape 6 mixed characters from different fonts within a line. I am experiencing similar behaviour from IE 5.5 with our home page where the "ä" is taken from a font different from the surrounding characters. This bevaviour is indeed undesired (if not to say ugly and distracting), even if the difference in font style is much less than Fraktur vs. Roman. I think, a decent browser should always choose a single font (or font family, if large fonts are implemented that way) for a homogeneous run of text (i. e. sharing all HTML text attributes, including LANG). Of course, this requires fonts containing all required characters. If a browser has started to render a run of homogeneous text in one font and then finds that that font lacks a particular character available elsewhere, it should start over again, so it will display homogeneous text in a homogeneous font.
