Incorrect display of characters

Hi,

I built a French website using FP 2000 and published
it on my web server couple months ago and very thing was
fine. Last weekend, my web server provider updated their
software and I had to re-published my website onto the
server. The problem now is that all special characters
(é,è,à,@) are getting replace by a square affecting my
whole text.

I'm not sure if my server is using UNIX or WINDOWS and
they have the 2002 FP extention installed. What's the
problem? What can I do to rectify the problem?

According to DNSWiz http://www.dnswiz.com/fptype.htm , your site is on a
server running Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat) and not running the FP Server
Extensions.
According to Netcraft http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/ also says
Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat)
Your site is running FPVersion="5.0.2.2634" (FrontPage 2002).

With that out of the way, I would try adding the following meta-tag to your
page and see if it helps:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="fr">

It can be added in HTML view anywhere between <head> and </head>.

it 's your windows charset. try using one that's more
universally understood such as ISO-8859-1

?

=?iso-8859-1?Q?Crash_Gordon=AE?=

curious; are you using a french keyboard with english char set?

there are also some oriental characters mixed in there as well.
