i18n and fonts
This is in the way of a partial followup to an earlier query of mine about
locales and locale definitions ...
I managed to change LC_ALL back to what I understand to be the default
value, "C" ...
HOWEVER, I'm experiencing some weird substitutions in Netscape. Simple-ish
international characters from languages like French and Spanish are being
replaced by Chinese characters.
A good example is the "This page is also available in the following
languages" row at the bottom of the http://www.debian.org page. If <C> is
understood to represent a Chinese character, what I see on my screen
instead of "Espanol" is "Espa<C>l" ... and what I see instead of
"Francais" is "Fran<C>is".
This even appears when I view source for the page. It seems that pairs of
characters are being interpreted as Chinese, which makes sense when you
realize that Asian character sets are double-byte. But why is this
replacement happening, and how can I keep it from happening?
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment. I will cross post on some of the
i18n lists.
