IE6 can't display Romanian characters

[Guest]

I am helping a friend set up a web page that contains Romanian text.
Unfortunately, there are at least 4 Romanian characters that IE6 can't seem
to display. These are unicode characters 218-21B hex (see
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0180.pdf). Mozilla Firefox displays the
page and all of the Romanian characters without a problem. Is there
something I can do to allow IE6 display these characters?

Does the friend's page specify UTF-8?
Is your IE set to Auto-Select for Encoding?

Yes, the page has charset=utf-8 and auto-select is set for encoding in IE.

Yes, the page has charset=utf-8 and auto-select is set for encoding in IE.

Sorry, but in that case I can't figure out what's wrong.

Yes, the page has charset=utf-8 and auto-select is set for encoding in IE.

Have you tried turning Auto-select off and picking a different characterset?
Also, what font is being used? Does that font contain those characters?

Unfortunately when a generic font and characterset are specified I don't
know which ones are chosen but if you knew that what you could do is use
the charmap utility to verify that that characterset contained the characters
you are interested in seeing.

You could also try using the Accessibility dialog (Alt-T,O,Alt-e)
to ensure that your own font preferences were being used.


Good luck
