I've tried both IE and Firefox and it looks fine in each.
pity about the Georgian.

It works fine in Opera 9.23 too. I've noticed though that the Roman script seems to have a space between each letter but the other scripts don't. I think it looks better with the spaces. Also is it an optical illusion or are the scripts for Hebrew and Devanagari in a smaller font than the others?

I don't know why the Hebrew and Devanagari come out smaller, since I did not select the font size. There's not much I can do, as the FONT command is not approved GuideML for Edited Entries.

And I did put spaces between the letters in Russian and Greek, but the browser removed them.

I've added Georgian, between Greek and Mongolian.

Yes.
I think the section on Indian writing systems could be expanded enormously, but it would really need pictures to do that, so I'm happy to leave it as a summary for the moment.
