Settings: Internet Browsers in OS X v. 10.4

Mozilla FireFox 2.0 displays Hebrew and Greek Unicode correctly by default.

Safari displays Greek Unicode correctly if the font is indicated by the website and has difficulty rendering pointed Hebrew.


If the Internet Browser settings are correct the following text should appear similar to the corresponding images.
