Wikipedia:Can't see the font?

• You only need a unicode Ethiopic font (such as GF Zemen) in your computer's font folder (usually in C:\WINDOWS\Fonts on windows) to be able to see Amharic and Ge'ez fonts.

With Internet Explorer 6, you will be able to read the pages on this website (you may wish to set a larger text size in the 'View' menu), but Mozilla Firefox works even better, with the right settings. Nevertheless, we recommend installing one of the following fonts to be able to read materials elsewhere on the Internet.
