Hi again, Dorota. I hope that you will be able to read the polish letter in "dziekuje" as even if I'm changing the Windows code it appears as a kappa (Greek k).

I the text above, Latin equivalents are displayed. I guess you need appropriate fonts (and NT line Windows: NT, 2000, XP, 2003 that are Unicode-compatible) to display them.
¹ = a cedille
ê = e cedille
Ÿ = z acute
...
etc

| Ehm, please don´t mix print fonts and screen fonts | Dec 3, 2005 |
Even if you are able to print any language using the system fonts Arial, Courier New and Times New Roman in Windows XP or to see the proper characters when opening text in Word, you will NOT be able to see Polish, Russian and Greek in one page in Internet Explorer, unless the page is coded in unicode. You would need to insert the polish characters here as Unicode - and I must admit, I don´t know how to do that. The characters, which Robert has written here, are coded as Windows CP 1250, not as ...

BTW, Unicode compatible fonts are called OpenType. These are at least Arial, CN and TNR at any Windows XP machine. ▲ Collapse

George

| Not all screen fonts are TT | Dec 3, 2005 |
For example the font used by Explorer is often MS Sans Serif, which is not a TT, but only a screen font.
TT - and even PostScrit (especially when Adobe TypeManager is used; however not necessary in Windows XP, but usefull) - fonts look and print the same.
This is true for word processors, such as Word, or for DTP programs, but not necessarily for text editors or Internet tools
| | | | | TT Fonts : Times New Roman and Courrier New | Dec 3, 2005 |
Hi Jerzy; Are Times New Roman and Courrier New TrueType fonts? I checked with my Internet options and I have found that I have the following Fonts settings: Language scripts: Greek, Web Page font: Times New Roman, Plain text font: Courrier new.

| Yes, they are | Dec 3, 2005 |
But the font used is defined by the website, not by your computer.
This is not a good place to discuss such issues, so I would suggest we continue during the next conference

| True Fonts; Times New Roman and Courrier New | Dec 3, 2005 |
Thanks. I think it is a good topic to analyze it in BA in August; may be we will get our input of our Spanish colleagues in case they face difficulties with the "ene" (ñ) character. Personally, I doubt if they are "ene" problems but just to have the whole topic completed. So, thanks for your input and the discussion we have had that I have found it particularly constructive.
