Would you recommend Western European (Windows) or Western > European (IS0)????? Good question. This particular reader doesn't show which one they've got in the menu. I just reinstalled this reader yesterday and don't remember what my favorite character set was. Western European (?) had no trouble with your post. I know I used to use things like US ASCII and UTF-8. -- Cheers, Ben

From: Here In Oregon on 19 Mar 2010 16:50 My computer was defaulting on Unicode (UTF-8) and I have tried both Western European (Windows) and (ISO) and it just gets worse after the page refreshes. Do I have to go to Arabic, Japanese, or Chinese? Is this a conspiracy? Are Sonar users uniting against the grim Reaper? Should I be preparing for some attack and battle. Am I considered an anathema and heretic to Sonar users now?

My browser, Firefox, only has US English and English English languages installed. Neither display the curly quotes properly. Other languages are available, but they are quite specific as to country. There is no "Western European English" available. Those characters aren't legal HTML characters, so by all rights, they SHOULDN'T display. I don't know why they did. Maybe they would look better with Internet Explorer, since those characters are a non- standard Microsoft thing in the first place. If I were you, I'd edit my post, if possible, copy the text into a text editor and search and replace all the bad characters with good ones. I just tried the page out with IE. It looks just as bad there, and none of the other character encodings helps.
