Subject | [greenstone-users] UTF-8? |
Dear List,
Strange, but I discover that since all my documents are in Italian, and UTF-8 is the default encoding, accented characters are not showing up correctly, yet if I choose ISO-8859-1 from the 'about' page, all is ok. UTF-8 should not present this problem, as it is a superset. Why could it be? I am currently viewing the document result on Ubuntu (firefox) via VNC rather than on my Windows machine, since the server is sitting in a room far away at the moment in a very large building. IS it perhaps to do with a setting in Firefox....but then why does ISO-8859-1 work? Other question (though to be honest I could probably fossick this one out from the documentation somewhere) - if I want the home page to show up in Italian, I can get that at the moment by going to 'about', changing language preference, then clicking 'pagina principale' to get back to home where my translation shows up in all its glory. But if I want it to show up first off? How do I alter that default? Or - even better - why, when I select preference from the home page and change language, does it not immediately change the home page? I t stays in English - I seem to have to go to 'about', make the change, THEN back to 'home. Is that too, not odd? Julian |
