Wordpad displays html source as Chinese font

[WindowsXP-he]

Windows xp HE all current patches and SPs applied -

Had this problem before but forgot to note the fix..

I have Wordpad set as my default editor and viewer for viewing source code
of webpages. Now all html files display with Chinese font. Notepad
displays normal.

?

look at the Regional and Language Settings in Control Panel, specifically the
Advanced Tab non unicode language setting - make sure it's in the language
you want. If you change it I think you'll have to reboot to effect the
changes.

Thanks, I'll try this. But I am also puzzled why this behavior returned.
What whacks wordpad as html source viewer? I have always manually composed
html docs using wordpad and only have this prob twice occur over the past
several months
