Dear Developers, Could you tell me how the charset alias works now? Let me give you some background why I wanted to know. Previously, I have written a small utility that runs on Mac OS X which tinkers the charsetalias.properties file a bit to handle many "big5-HKSCS" encoded web sites that declared themselves incorrectly as "big5". It simply replaces the target encoding of big5 with big5-HKSCS instead. As big5- HKSCS is a superset of big5, it shows big5 encoded site correctly as well as misconfigured big5-HKSCS sites. I have just downloaded Firefox 4.0 beta 7 and discovered that the charsetalias.properties file is no longer there. Could you tell me how the charset handling works in Gecko 2.0? My little utility can be downloaded from here: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19216/i-speak-cantonese
