[thelist] Lotus Domino & Garbled Text

Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

Or alternatively, that the Mac in question doesn't have
support for ISO-2022-JP enabled.

I was working on a Greek site last year, and my work laptop
didn't have support for Greek chars. Once I'd installed the appropriate
character set pack (ISO-8859-7), it all worked beautifully.

Cheers

Well, I imagine that the encoding type is being written as if its english,
so the browsers think english is coming at them instead of japanese.

 In InternetExplorer: View - Encoding - Unicode

 Japanese characters are double-byte Unicode. You are probably seeing the
 single-byte ASCII characters. Watch out because Notes does not understand
 Unicode and may display carriage returns between the bytes of a single
 character.

 Try to force the character set by adding a META tag to the web page
 Header:
 <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-2022-JP">

 Valid charsets (according to RFC1945) are
 "US-ASCII"
 "ISO-8859-1"
 "ISO-8859-2"
 "ISO-8859-3"
 "ISO-8859-4"
 "ISO-8859-5"
 "ISO-8859-6"
 "ISO-8859-7"
 "ISO-8859-8"
 "ISO-8859-9"
 "ISO-2022-JP"
 "ISO-2022-JP-2"
 "ISO-2022-KR"
 "UNICODE-1-1"
 "UNICODE-1-1-UTF-7"
 "UNICODE-1-1-UTF-8"
