I want to display specific Charsets from my website like: Arabic
(iso-8859-6) or Thai (windows-874) so they display on all browsers but
for some reason the above charsets are not listed in my installation
of IE 5.2 on the Mac.  Can other users see these charsets on their IE
5.2 browsers?

I know Safari and PC IE 6 and Netscape and Opera have these charsets
but for some reason I can not find them on IE 5.2.  Is there a way to
tell IE 5.2 that these charsets actually exist or is it a case of just
don't use this browser to display Arabic or Thai fonts?

Thanks

MSIE for Mac doesn't support Arabic or Thai

Windows-874 is a Microsoft-proprietary, Windows-specific charset.
Use International Standard ISO-8859-11 instead. The code positions
of all Thai letters are the same in Windows-874 and ISO-8859-11.

No.
On Mac OS 9, use Mozilla 1.3.1. <http://www.wamcom.org/>
On Mac OS X, use any Mozilla-based browser <http://www.mozilla.org/>
or Safari.
