Lynx is probably the only browser with quite a user base which might have problems, because it requires your terminal and your fonts to be set up to use UTF-8. This is rarely the case by default. I firmly believe that web pages should be accessible by Lynx, so let's stick with ISO-8859-1. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [email protected] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
