When you talk about European fonts, do you mean things like vowels
with accents?  or are you referring to cyrillic or greek fonts?  

If it's the former you're asking of, you can use things like &eacute;
in your text in place of e with a ' over it...  There's a table of
these values somewhere on the net.  It's at

http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/ISOlat1.html  

As far as I know all of these are supported by default in WebExporer.

If you mean the latter, with completely different fontsets, I'm afraid
I can't help you.  I don't know the answer to the question, but I
suspect WebExplorer doesn't contain support for this type of thing as
of yet.  Sorry.  You might try asking on the Usenet about this.
