By looking at view/Doc Info you see that this page is written in code page 852. e caron is at position D8. In Latin 1 D8 is O with slash, in Latin 2 D8 is R caron. My Netscape V3 does not support CP832, so the character shows as default as O with slash. Since I do have a Latin 2 font, switching to Latin 2 shows R caron. Your system presumably does not have a Latin 2 font installed. I think that Navigator is at fault for ignoring the declared code set and blindly displaying it in the user default setting (e.g. Latin 1) without at least displaying a message saying that it does not understand the code set. Better would be to understand CP852 and map it to the nearest installed font. Tim --------------------------------------- Tim Greenwood Open Market Inc 617-949-7166 greenwood@openmarket.com
