Despite charset being discussed to death, and despite having followed
all of those threads, I still have problems. http://www.tsmchughs.com/recipes/soda-bread
This page uses iso-8859-1 charset. From the headers:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Under ingredients are characters for fractions (188, 189, and 190) and
the degree character (176), characters which Lynx can display on http://www.obviously.com/browsers/iso-8859-1.html
However, Lynx does not display the one half character on my soda-bread
page. What have I done wrong?
Then there's accented letters. http://www.bonfete.biz/ http://www.julietremblay.com/about/philosophy.html
Both of those pages contain accented e (the first has an e circumflex,
the second, e aigu). It's fine in Mozilla, IE/Win, and Opera. But in
Lynx, these letters show us as strange-looking (to me, at any rate)
glyphs. This is true on my pages, and on the browser test page. Is
there anything I should do to fix it?

You need to use the metric system and forget about silly fractions.
:-D We left-ponders just can't make sense of metric. When someone
tells me that it was -5 degrees in Germany, I have to go to the
thermometer, look for -5 celsius, then see what that corresponds to in
Fahrenheit. Pathetic, I know, but it's what I was brought up with.
Then again, the recipe came from Ireland, so I guess it isn't only us.

And after looking up a value, you do cache the answer so you don't have to
look it up again any time soon, right?

There's something wrong with -your- Lynx setup. Mine is displaying
just fine (it even supports utf-8). Your HTML is fine, and displaying
just fine and dandy here. (What about the threequarters?)
Then there's accented letters.
http://www.bonfete.biz/
http://www.julietremblay.com/about/philosophy.html

the second, e aigu). It's fine in Mozilla, IE/Win, and Opera. But in

glyphs.
My suspicion is that you're using a CP850 (DOS) font and letting Lynx
think it's an iso-8859-1 font, or possibly vice versa. Go to the Lynx
options page and check what the "display character set" says. Take it
from there. Either change the font to match the configured "display
character set", or change the display to match the font ;-)
By rights you should be on c.i.w.browsers. misc for this discussion.
Your HTML authoring isn't the problem.

You need to tell Lynx which character set you're using, via a
setting in the Lynx.cfg file. You didn't tell us anything about your
system, so I have no idea whether my setting
CHARACTER_SET:c p437
will work for you.

Sure. But there's no 1-to-1 ration, so it doesn't do much good to
cache it. -5c = 22f, but 10c <> 37f.

Sorry, didn't explain that completely. No fractions are displaying
correctly on the soda-bread page. However, the onequarter and onehalf
display on
http://www.obviously.com/browsers/iso-8859-1.html
[1]
This page declares a charset encoding in a meta tag, not in the
headers. Perhaps that makes a difference in my Lynx setup?

Will look into it.

So it seems. But when I saw that Lynx, as I have it configured,
displays e.g. onequarter on one page, but not another, you can see why
I thought I did something wrong on my end.
[1] To confuse things further, threequarter does not display on either
my page or on the iso 8859-1 test page.

I'm using the php 'file' command to read the contents of an ASCII text
file to a variable. The original text file contains some accented and
special characters. The problem arises when I echo this variable: the
accented characters are messed up. And not only accented characters, for
example, the special characters ª is printed as ª. What can I do to
correct this issue? I have tried, without success, to use the 'setlocale'
command.
