Prerequisites

System requirements
You will need JavaScript enabled on your browser. No additional hardware is needed for this tutorial. However, in order to view some of the files online, Unicode fonts must be loaded. See the Resources section of the tutorial for information on Unicode fonts if you don't already have one loaded. (Note: Many Unicode fonts are still incomplete or in development, so one particular font may not contain every character. However, for the purposes of this tutorial, the Unicode font downloaded by the user will ideally contain all or most of the language characters used in our examples. (If yours does not, try downloading an additional Unicode font.) It may be necessary to change the encoding in the browser to Unicode (UTF-8). In Internet Explorer, do this by going to View > Encoding > Unicode (UTF-8).
