Using an emulator that supports many display may be useful for a person interested in reading documents in either, say, Hebrew or Russian. Lynx will use approximations to render those. The display of Windows 95 may be changed via the control panel. The following is for Windows 95. There are of course analogous mechanisms for other operating systems.
Lynx supports content negotiation w.r.t language and charset.
Well configured servers will give you the visual document rather than the bi-directional one if they serve both. Lynx may be configured to assume a certain character encoding for unlabeled documents. Poor Hebrew support Netscape 6.01 and lower Netscape 6.01 does not support bi-directional text. Netscape 6.1 does. Small download and modest system requirements.
