Mozilla & cp1251

[joost witteveen <joostje@komputilo.org>]

Hi,

Whenever I view cyrillic pages with Mozilla that are coded in
cp1251, Mozilla 0.9.3, the cyrillic letters don't show up.

I tried (using konwert) transforming the cp1251-coded files
to utf-8, and then Mozilla does show the Cyrillic letters
(only too widely spaced). So I suppose it's not a missing
font on my computer. Also, I do instruct Mozilla to
use Windows-1251 Encoding.

Example page: http://top.list.ru:8005/ 

To convert to utf-8, I used
$ wget http://top.list.ru:8005/
$ konwert cp1251-utf8 <index.html > top.list.ru-utf8.html

The resulting file now is on http://www.komputilo.org/top.list.ru-utf8.html
it shows correctly in Mozilla, if I set the Encoding to UTF8.

Does anyone know what the problem on my computer may be?
(Actually I want to view Bulgarian pages, but it seems the
problems with bulgarian cyrillic letters are the same as with
russian, and there isn't a debian-bulgarian list).
