This is an example of a Wikipedia title that won't display properly on my computer. Even though I have a UNICODE font downloaded (which I imagine most English users won't) I still see "Khar**hi" where the * is an open rectangle denoting a missing character.

I can understand the importance of faithful preservation of foreign references in English text, although it leads to supposedly English-language articles that are unpronounceable by English speakers and often unrenderable on computers configured for English speakers.

If the English Wikipedia is going to run the gamut of foreign language characters, it would be nice to provide a simplified download and installation of the font(s) required to display those characters.
