Dynamic Font Authoring


When I use characters beyond the ASCII position 126, they are not displayed in every browser. Why?
Whether the characters will display or not depends on the encoding your HTML page uses, what method you use to specify the characters within the HTML document, and what encoding a browser uses when the document is viewed.

For example: For the characters in the Western (Latin 1) character set, you can use the charset=iso-8859-1 in your META tag, like this:
<DEFANGED-META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">


One other common problem lies in the browser. Sometimes the language encoding must be set specifically for a page when it is viewed in the browser. In Netscape 4.x and Internet Explorer 5.x, you change a browser's viewing encoding via the View menu, Encoding option.
