If some websites are not viewable in Vietnamese, try the ViewCharacter Encoding menu and switch between Unicode (UTF-8), Western (ISO-8859-1), Western (Windows-1252) codes.

Firefox reads Vietnamese extremely great. It can read Vietnamese at the perfect level for all websites, even pages that IE cannot read. For example, read mail from Yahoo! US (except Yahoo! Mail Beta) with Vietnamese font (select Western code (ISO-8859-1) in Firefox), Description line under Blog or Links in Vietnamese, The title line of posts, the content of posts on the Blog without selecting the font again. These items, IE only read a very limited part. This is also the reason why I do not write Vietnamese for the title of posts.
