Yo necesito sus dos centavos. Y gracias in advance mis amigos.
Browser: Firefox 3.0b2
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate
Certain web pages and/or web sites will display all or some Asian
characters
instead of Western English in my on screen, inside the browser display
only.
View source shows that the actual HTML web page, of course, does contain
regular
Western English characters.
Googling this issue gets me no practical results. And that is rare as I
usually can solve
anything in a google search.
I found one dated resource that suggested that this was a UTF-8 issue.
That something
somewhere was not rendering UTF-8 character encoding properly.
As an example, a page that is rendering partial Asian characters has
these HTML headers:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
In Firefox in my Options >> Fonts >> Advanced, I have these settings:
Serif font set to: Tahoma,
Sans-serif set to: Arial Unicode MS, and
Default Character encoding set to: Western (ISO-8859-1).
Any thoughts? Has anyone tangoed darkly with this evanescent insidious
weirdness.
Warmest regards,
