Hi,

I have the problem, that cyrillic characters greater than 0x0450 will not be
displayed in the IE6.0 - but will be displayed on the same computer by
Firefox.
Does anybody have an idea why it's like that ?

The code which I try:
<html>
<head>
<title>KOI8-R</title>
<meta name="author" content="Dieter">
<meta name="generator" content="Ulli Meybohms HTML EDITOR">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=KOI8-R">
</head>
<body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" link="#FF0000" alink="#FF0000"
vlink="#FF0000">
<br>
0x0424: Ф (cyrillic sign)<br>
0x044F: Ñ (cyrillic sign)<br> --- will be displayed by IE ---
0x0450: Ñ (cyrillic sign)<br> --- will not be displayed by IE ---
0x0460: Ñ  (cyrillic omega-sign)<br> --- will not be displayed by IE ---
0x04C2: Ó (cyrillic character)<br> --- will not be displayed by IE ---
0x04F8: Ó¸ (cyrillic character)<br> --- will not be displayed by IE ---
0x0508: Ôˆ (cyrillic supplement character)<br> --- will not be displayed
by IE ---
</body>
</html>


Thanks and best regards,

Hello Daniel,

Try specifying a differnt font for your cyrillic text. Tahoma worked for
example.

I tried it and you are right. With 'Tahoma' it worked - but why work it
without explicitly telling which font to use in Firefox and why not in IE ?
Any idea ?

Thanks and best regards,

It's hard to tell because we do NOT know what you have in your .html -
looks incorrect really - you announce your page as Cyrillic(KOI8-R) -
but then you MUST have inside the symbols of KOI8-R encoding -
how did you type them in your editor?

Usually, if a person works under MS Windows and inputs national letters
-
being them French or Russian - _normally_ - that is, by adding needed
Keyboard layout and switching keyboard to say "FR" or "RU -
one get a text in _Windows_ encoding - windows-1252 for French or
windows-1251 for Russian - how did you manage to input KOI8-R
symbols???

You may want to look at the section of my site called
"For developers: Cyrillic(Russian) HTML"

Thanks Paul,

I try to put the characters in like that:
Ó
think that should work ever - thought that is the sense of such an input,
that I have always the possibility to enter characters, even if I have no
keyboard for that kind of characters. Or am I wrong ?

Do you have also a link for me on your homepage ?


Thanks and best regards,

Hello!
...

Like what? :) I see just some gibberish - and I saw some gibberish
in your example of HTML file -
see, you can NOT perform copy/paste to a Newsgroups window -
we will NOT see your _original_ text - your News software
*will* convert it to its current (or default) encoding AND
say Google Groups will also convert
and show our discussion in UTF-8 encoding so we never learn what
you really had!

You have to _explain_ how you obtain Russian text in your HTML editor,
without trying to show us real symbols - it's just not possible -
unless you send us link to .zip with your .html inside - then we can
look ourselves - it is the way to show us your HTML file, not
copy/paste (copy/paste is Ok *if* you have just English letters in your
HTML)

think that should work ever -

So I still don't know what 'that' means...
thought that is the sense of such an input,
that I have always the possibility to enter characters, even if I have no
keyboard for that kind of characters. Or am I wrong ?

I don't know because I don't know what method you used.

Do you have also a link for me on your homepage ?
