Description LuRan 2010-02-28 17:42:55 UTC 
Version:           svn snapshot (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 4.4.3 with gentoo patches
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Some webpage does not have the correct charset in the meta data, and I cannot find the menu item to change the charset manually, for khtml there is an option under the Edit menu in Konqueror, a similar function for webkit part would be very useful in some cases.

Do you mean the ability to change the page encoding ? If so, the option you are talking about is the one under the View menu, "View->Set Encoding" to be precise, right ?

I have tried the new code, but I am not sure if it works correctly. I still get correct display even if I manually set the charset of http://en.wikipeida.org to UTF16, which does not seems to be the right behavior: The page should be converted to garbage in UTF16.
