The majority of this article is copy-and-pasted from the Catholic Encyclopedia (the text from "Martyr under Diocletian..." through "...gave rise to local legends") -- it looks like the CE, published in 1911, should be public domain by now, but the article still shouldn't be a direct copy, should it?

Origin of his name

edit

I can't read the characters in the section about the origin of his name--all I see is squares. What language are the characters I can't see, and, how do enable my software to "see" them? Thanks. --Kenatipo speak! 18:22, 2 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Update: I downloaded Quivira 3.7 true-type fonts and put it in my Windows/Fonts folder. Now I can see characters instead of boxes at the Coptic language article, both Sahidic and Bohairic, but I still see boxes on the Saint Menas page. Appreciate any suggestions. --Kenatipo speak! 19:08, 2 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
