Please restrict your line length to 70-75 characters by inserting manual
returns since Macromedia's bullshit software is unable to do so.

Publish a document and post the URL here so that we can inspect what
actually went wrong with it.

There is no need to give the encoding in an ersatz <meta> header line.
You can (and should) specify it via the HTTP header:
http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset
http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/charset/ns-burp.html

Hello Andreas

Sorry about the display. I will try to remember to keep the lines short.

Thanks for your advise and suggestions.

Can you tell me exactly what I need to put in each page of my document so
that the fonts will
display correctly, both in Dreamweaver and online? As I said, I tried the
meta tag and it
neither displays the turkish s and i properly, neither does it display it in
the browser. All the
other Turkish characters do display ok. I need dreamweaver to be able to
read
ISO-8859-9 which is the Latin5 character set. Currently it reads most of
the Turkish
Character set, but will not read the cedilla s, cedilla S or the dotted
capital I.

As far as I can see, IE 6 plus can read Turkish sites ok, but I need to be
able to produce
actual pages myself which also can be read ok, and this is the problem.

What do you mean by http header rather than a meta tag? I can only find
reference to
http headers inside a meta tag? Or is this a server site htaccess solution
you are
suggesting.

It would be useful to know exactly how to format this either in each page or
in the
htaccess file?

Any further help would be much appreciated.

thanks
