I played around a little bit trying to understand this encoding mess. The page looks better after installing the latest Windows True Type fonts. It seems to use Verdana so this makes the page look much nicer. It still does not show the unicode characters correctly. If I manually change to cp1254 encoding the unicode characters are shown. I don't see a way in Konqueror's Settings to configure the font used for UTF-8 encoding. I thought the Windows TTF fonts support Unicode? But switching to utf-8 encoding doesn't use the true type fonts.... I think its time for me to read some more Unicode HOWTOs :) Ralf Sunday 11 February 2001 18:09 ralf@well.com ÃÃÃÃÃÃÃ: | Package: khtml | Version: cvs 10-Feb-2001 | Severity: normal | | Unicode characters embedded in HTML on | | http://www.economist.com | | are not displayed correctly unless the encoding is | switched to Unicode (which btw. has a really ugly font | on my system.
