I develop online dictionary for Cree language (Native American). It uses
Unicode Block 'Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics' (From U+1400 To
U+167F).
The problem occure only under IE 7 XP SP2. Even with installed fonts (you
may get free on languagegeek.com) whit properly defined font-family IE7 shows
up only boxes. So I have to detect IE7 XP and ask visitors to use other
browser, which is sad.

Interesting thing is that both IE6 and IE7 under Vista work fine.

You can use following link for testing.

I don't have a font which supports this but something odd happened when
I toggled View, Encoding, Auto-Select off and on. (I got the Unicode
strings instead of the boxes when I toggled it back on.) Do the boxes
persist for you then?
