Unreadable characters (to me) in IESDP

[berelinde]

I've been spending a lot of time lately in the IESDP, but I can't really benefit from the examples, because to me, they appear to be odd characters that bear no resemblane to any known language.

 

I'm at the point now where I would benefit from not having to ask a new question every second day, when the information is right there, but I can't read it.

 

Is there anything I can do to translate the characters?

[berelinde]

I'm a dork.

 

I found out how to make it intelligible: just copy it to something else, like notepad.

 

I deserve the ridicule, I suppose.

Which web browser are you using? Perhaps you need to install new fonts?

[berelinde]

That was what I was thinking. I use IE v 6.0.

Try going to IE's menu, click on View then Encoding and try different settings. There is Auto-Select, two types of Western European, and several others. Pick the setting that allows IESDP to view properly. (It uses the ISO-8859-1 character set which is international in scope.)

Could I be more of a dolt?

 

Thanks, Smoketest. That did the trick.

 

 

Much easier to see what is going on.

Awww, don't feel bad. Inexperience doesn't equate to doltishness or dorkiness.
