How come when I go to
http://www.syria4you.com/html/
I get the name of the page correctly in on the taskbar, but in the title
bar of IE6, I just see the square placeholders?
In Notepad the title tag is
<title>ÓæÑíÉ ãä ÃÌáß - ÚÏÇÏ</title>

I don't understand that language, BTW. It could be Arabic.

I have Win XP Home SP1.

Probably becuase the font you use for the title bar and the font your use
for the taskbar are different. One contains the needed characters and one
doesn't.

I see arabic at the top of the browser and the same arabic in the taskbar

IE6, Win2K-Server

If you only install the critical windows service packs you probably didn't
download some of the "non-critical" ones that have the extra languages in
them

Works for me - I suspect the font you're using for title bars doesn't
have the necessary characters.

That's just notepad misinterpretting the character encoding.

Where on the page code does it indicate which font to use?

I tried in IE6, Tools> Internet Options> General tab> Language button>
Add button> Arabic (Syria) [ar-sy] . But the page still shows the
placeholders as characters in the title bar of IE6. It seems that
language preference is just the order of priority of which language is
displayed.

The style sheet appears to be
<LINK REL="StyleSheet" HREF="themes/s4u/style/style.css"
TYPE="text/css">
So I go to
http://www.syria4you.com/themes/s4u/style/style.css
But I don't see anything.

If it's something in the Win XP language or font options, where is the
option to add the proper font or language? If the font is showing up on
the taskbar, I must already have it somewhere.
