 > this has been an ongoing problem for 2 years and it's still not fixed. I
 don't understand. I've tried everything that has been listed and nothing
 works. I have language support enabled, and yet characters still show up
 as boxes in chat and in buddy list.  if I send this to someone, they will
 get the character since they are using a program that actually has proper
 font support.

 Have u tried this:
 At Preferences -> Conversation Tab. Uncheck the first checkbox "Show
 formatting on incoming messages". This will display your own font instead
 of the font that the other side specify.
