Getting Firefox to permanently display foreign characters?

[Simcut]

Hey guys,

Hoping you can help me on this one....

I wondered how I can make Firefox permanently show special characters, for example ÃÃâ€*Չۉà ¢â€šÂ¬Ã…“zgÃÃâ€*’Âƚ¼r Can shows up most of the time as ?zg?r Can on my Firefox, I added Turkish as a language to my list as well as Swedish, Polish, Hungarian and French but FireFox sometimes shows things with question marks or other jibberish.

Please help!!

you may have to change your character encoding, but I am not 100% sure:

Tools > Options > General > Languages > Character Encoding...... and pick a relevant language, or make the language above that in a different order of preference, like your swedish (or whatever) first then english EN and so on.

Hiya ikthius, Ive not tried it in microsoft word but it deffo isnt working in FireFox, it works in IE perfectly but I hate IE as a browser cause of the .bmp problems with jpeg files :|

Hope someone can resolve this for me?

view > Character Encoding > western (ISO-8859-1)

I am at a loss then, but if you put a thread in the mozilla forum here you will probably get an answer to your problem.

sorry I could not have been any help.
