Re: [tlug] Japanese Encoding - which one?

Looking at that page now in Windows - IE (which does Page Source in Notepad) and Mozilla both - shows up readable text in both.

Thanks.  I went through everything (and I do mean everything) under
Preferences (Edit, then Preferences) and found several(!) places where
UTF-8 could be set.  I hadn't realized how compartmentalized Mozilla
is.  I should have known better - I've been using it for long enough.  I
fixed one page before going through Preferences:
http://www5d.biglobe.ne.jp/~LLLtrs/i_i_v/jpage/jg01.html
- by bouncing it back and forth between Mozilla and OpenOffice.  A quick
test page thrown together with Mozilla seems to be in UTF-8.  So far so
good, and yet, I realize that I need to spend more time editing pages
with text editors and less time with GUI stuff....

Thanks again,

Lyle
