This makes things a little clearer: Philippe's bad advice to mix
encodings was based on bad information, that doing so would be
necessary.
The best advice for Elaine's situation becomes simpler. To maximize the
likelihood that readers will see the right glyphs, add a "font-family"
style line that lists a variety of available fonts, in decreasing order
of coverage and attractiveness.
