Korean character display problem on IE6

[Greg Larkin]

Hi all,

I am running Windows XP with Office XP installed and IE6. Lately, I
am having problems viewing this site correctly:

http://www.kr.graceconstruction.com/?lid=7

It should display in the Korean character set, but I just gibberish
characters. If I manually switch the character encoding
(View->Encoding->Korean), everything displays fine.

The problem is that I did not used to have to do this manual switch.
On my previous machine (Win 2000, Office 2000, IE 6), the page would
display fine with no intervention.

This seems to be an IE6 configuration problem, but I can't figure it
out. Mozilla 1.5 displays the page fine with no interaction. I have
enabled East Asian langugages in the control page, I have turned
auto-encoding on and off with no effect and tried many other
suggestions I found through Google.

No luck so far! If anyone has any suggestions, or if you are able to
see the web site above successfully, I'd like to know what your
settings are.

Thank you,
Greg Larkin

Hi Greg,

Since the page displays fine when you manually change the character encoding
I am assuming that the Korean language packs have been correctly installed.

The next step you may want to take is to ensure that you have enabled Korean
as a language preference. You can do this by:
1. Click on Tools -> Internet Options
2. On the "General" tab, select "Languages"
3. Next to the Language box, click "Add..."
4. Click on Korean [ko], and select OK
5. Choose OK all the way back out to the webpage, and refresh the webpage

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the reply to my message. I tried what you suggested,
restarted the browser and visited the site again. Unfortunately, it
appears in the same way as before.

You are right, everything displays fine if I manually set the encoding
to Korean, so I believe the language packs are installed fine. I just
can't get the site to display in Korean automatically. The page I am
visiting is emitting a META charset tag with the Korean encoding, so I
expect IE to pick up on that and set its encoding and character set to
Korean.

If you or anyone else has any other ideas, I would appreciate hearing
them.

Thank you,
Greg Larkin

Maybe there is a fault with IE. How about repairing IE? goto 'add/remove prog' select 'Microsoft internet explorer 6' and click 'add/remove', instead of removing, select repair. This may help!
