(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: khtml Version: KDE 3.0.3 Severity: normal Installed from: RedHat RPMs Compiler: Not Specified OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: redhat binaries downloaded from a kde mirror A site which ought to be displayed in Hebrew shows up in iso-8859-1. It is made up of frames and konqueror does not allow for frames to be forced to display in a different encoding so for all practical purposes it is unreadable (oh I could do a open frame in new window I know). I looked at the sources and found that one meta tag had been commented out while another one was added to instruct the browser to display in logical Hebrew: <HEAD> <!-- WESTERN EUROPEAN <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> --> <!-- HEBREW ISO-Logical --> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-8-i"> .. </HEAD> Yet konqueror shows it in iso-8859-1. Is konqueror here standards compliant and if so whyis such code non standard. Lars Knoll thinks this is a bug so here is the report. PS: a site that uses the above html code is http://www.yerushalmionline.org however I contacted the webmaster and he may delete the commented out meta tag so I am not sure how long this live test case remain out there in cyberspace. Keep up the good work. Thank you all for kde! Arie Folger (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)
confirmed.
bug also occurs with KDE 3.2
linuxcounter has such a page that may be easier to verify for non-hebrew reading. http://counter.li.org/bycountry/SE.php The problematic line is this: <head><!-- <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"> --> The first bad entry is Alings (Should read Alingsås). Others are easier to spot as they display spaces in middle of names and even parts of HTML codes.
Fixed with recent WebCore encoding-detection merge.
Well, I just checked http://www.yerushalmionline.org/ again, and while their look has changed, the problem seems to persist. The header of that frame is still the same old header. I am using kde 3.3.1-24.FC3 (Fedora Core 3) which has Konqueror 3.3.1-4.3.FC3 So where is the new WebCore (in CVS?)?
Yes in the upcoming KDE 3.4. If you want it fixed in Fedora, report the bug to them or wait for them to upgrade to KDE 3.4
