Unfortunately, the X11 font cencept makes this exceedingly difficult to implement. There are a few ways to get this working. One is too use Unicode fonts for displaying. I removed this in KDE-2/2.1 because it made quite some problems for people with slower machines (and most people don't need the mixing). I could readd this as a config option to the HTML settings dialog in 2.2. It'll work directly if you use the new antialiased fonts with Qt-2.3, beacause these are always Unicode fonts, and Qt just pretends them to be something different. The real solution will however only come with Qt-3 where we get a real good abstraction of a font, that hides all the uglyness (8bit'ness) of the X11 font model.
