It's not clear from your post that "AT ONE POINT IN TIME" the Linux default was something specific. It's only clear that the Windows default enjoys that qualification. >>> 1) Default Charset on each platform. >>> >> >> - -1 >> > Figuring out the default on different platforms is step 1 of > understanding you have a problem.

While proper enlightenment does require as much information as possible, solving this problem does not involve determining the default charset on any platform. I believe you run the risk of confusing the OP by adding this variable to the equation. > If you use something > like one of the ISO encodings then you're tied to English Don't tell that to anyone who speaks Bosnian, Croatian, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Upper Sorbian, Lower Sorbian, Finnish, Danish, German, French, Italian, Spanish, or Portuguese. There are probably others covered by the ISO character sets. >> I would also check the system you're on /for the browser/.

Certain versions of Windows XP do not ship with appropriate fonts for Chinese and other languages: you have to install a multi-language pack in order to support them. My version of Vista did not appear to have this problem, but I'm not sure if that's because they changed something specific. I don't have a volume license for Vista (there's just no reason to upgrade everyone here to change the color of the Start menu ;). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkokE4sACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAnZwCfTUoTorfEVylydmmm6sOrSzuz XEQAn1QLscWkJ6srMf1efLvhXneUYlpj =HOnJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
