I noticed, taht forum has some problems with displaying Polish chcaracters ---> Zażółć gęślą jaźń. (This is probably the sentence with most possible number of non-standard characters ;) ) There are no such problems on teams' pages for example: http://pirates.spy-hill.net/team_display.php?teamid=121 ____________ Me Pirrrate name be Mad William Flint an' don't ye dare t' call me with any other name me lad!

I do know that the message boards go through an extra layer of sanitization, which may affect the display (only). As I'm writing this I can see in the quoted text what looks like the correct sentence.

Not necessarily a board problem. I'm pretty certain it won't display characters that aren't in your Windows font. ____________

Not necessarily a board problem. I'm pretty certain it won't display characters that aren't in your Windows font. The problem is, it splits one character in two. In the sentence above, word 'zażółć' has 6 letters, 4 of them special. If you count characters being displayed, you'll notice there are 10 characters, 8 of them speical. It seems like encoding problem to me. It may be conected with 16bit unicode standard, but this is my guessing. On the other hand, I know how Polish letters look, when displayed with non CE (Central Europe) font. They sure don't look like these. ____________ Me Pirrrate name be Mad William Flint an' don't ye dare t' call me with any other name me lad! Arrr!

I switched through all character sets that I have on my browser, none of them shows it right. Encoding it as HTML character entities will be the best solution as it's independant from the character sets then. I wonder if ours show ... ��

A trick made them appear : I switched the input page to ISO-8859-1 before I typed them. I wonder if that would be a quick bugfix ? Without switching to 8859 it looks a little not so nice either : äöüÄÖÜß For SZTAKI this is a very massive problem btw., it would be really good if there was a way to solve it. I will test something in the next post ... edit : I have not the slightest idea what I wrote down there but it looks correct :-)

I will try to make few own attempts with text, which belongs to Central European, Latin2 - source of this text was Win-1250: Samotn� n�zov je skratkou z anglick�ho "Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing", �o sa d� vo�ne prelo�i� ako "Otvoren� infra�tukr�ra pre sie�ov� v�po�ty z Berkeley".

Let's see how it will look like... (excuse me, I'm still editing the same message over and over) Writing in IE, page encoding set to Unicode: No, sucks. No way to display it correctly. Now the same text, IE switched to "Central European (Windows)" while editing: When manually setting "Central European (Windows)" encoding while viewing, it's nearly good, but few characters are wrong. The same in Netscape. Another attempt, setting page encoding to Unicode and trying to paste that text possibly as correct Unicode text (copied to and then from MS Word): Wrong when viewed with any encoding. Last attempt, as Ananas suggested, setting the browser to "Wester European (ISO-8859-1)" encoding and pasting unicode textin the edit window: Similar to the first attempt, text is overall good, but few characters are wrong. Could it be, that the edit pane keeps some other encoding? Ananas, how did you succeed???? ____________ Peter .-)

I clicked "reply", then immediately switched to ISO-8859-1 in Mozilla (maybe IE handles it different?). My Mozilla is an English version, accept_language is .en .de to avoid receiving weird translations ;-) For the same reason I have choosen to have all BOINC projects in English. Then I went to http://szotar.sztaki.hu/index.hu.jhtml and stole some text (Clipboard/Ctrl+C) like �ltal k�sz�tett SZTAKI Sz�t�r and some more text from http://www.boincatpoland.org/ : można przełożyć The text I copied has been inserted with Ctrl+V, not mouse. My Win2k is a German version with German language and keyboard settings When I go to "edit", the text looks weird first, as soon as I switch to this ISO set, it looks OK again. p.s.: Trying the same in the SZTAKI board failed btw., so it is not a good solution, depending on too many factors. It's probably better to experiment with htmlentities() using the default ISO-8859-1 (or better 8859-15 for � � � and such) for it and for the 3 input pages.

Please check my profile, I did the same there. The first lines (.de and .fr characters) I wrote with the keyboard,the others with copy/paste as I don't have those funny things on the keyboard (and wouldn't know how to use them) ;-) I've got one Win2k installation with an original .fi keyboard (a friend needed it) so if it makes any sense, I can test that too sometimes. p.s.: if I use UTF-8 on the input page, it does not show what I typed later so it's probably the routine that stores the stuff in the database converting it somehow. A MySQL database probably does have a character set setting that you decide during the installation. p.p.s.: this is the line from the start of this thread, input in ISO ---> Zaż�łć gęślą jaźń. Output character coding does not change anything, just the input is important. I can switch the view page as I like and it's always correct.

Новостное агентство LENTA.RU сообщает, что NASA говит проект, отдаленно напоминающий проект РВ. " Специалисты космического агентства NASA, ожидающие прибытия аппарата Stardust с образцами звездной пыли 15 января, объявили о поиске добровольцев для нового проекта. Желающие поучаствовать в проекте Stardust@home смогут помочь в поиске частиц звездной пыли, собранных "пылесборником" аппарата, передает DPA. Для этого, пояснили организаторы проекта на собрании Американского астрономического общества во вторник, им понадобится подключение к Интернету и специальная бесплатная программа. Поиск звездной пыли будет более интерактивным процессом, так как добровольцам предстоит тщательно рассматривать снимки поверхности уловителя на предмет пробоин, оставленных частицами внеземного вещества. Специальный микроскоп автоматически отсканирует всю площадь поверхности пористого вещества в уловителе и сделает около 1,5 миллиона снимков, каждый из которых будет отправлен на изучение четырем участникам программы. Всем желающем принять участие в проекте будет направлено тестовое задание. В качестве награды за выполненную работу NASA предоставляет добровольцам право давать имя найденным им частицам звездной пыли. Если приземление капсулы с образцами, собранными аппаратом Stardust, пройдет успешно, то снимки "виртуального микроскопа" будут доступны пользователям Интернета в середине марта. ...

The Russian cyrillic text seems to be correct, no wrong characters observed here, but the Slovak one is not. I tried different viewing encodings, but it did't help. There are few wrong characters, you can check yourself with the source page, it is evident. The first one I noticed on all places is "z" with reversed "^" over it, in Windows (Unicode) called "Latin Letter Z With Caron", I don't know how in X-Windows. It was replaced by something like "_,". Another one is "Latin Letter S With Caron", this character seems to be replaced with something (double dot horizontally over the character position) which is called "Diaeresis" or also "Umlaut" in German language. ____________ Peter .-)

Try editing http://pirates.spy-hill.net/language_select.php ... It's what it's there for. Mchl may want to test the link on his Polish setup. Comments to this page, from my point of view: There should be these two (or three) choices there (it is actually valid for all Boinc projects, usually there is "cs \| Czech" as choice): cz \| Czech (Cestina) sk \| Slovak (Slovencina) (I'm not able to write local names correctly) cs \| ( ) - hard to say, there was no such common language, the shortcut was valid until some 15 years ago when Czechoslovakia was split into separate Czech and Slovak republiks. But both czech and slovak languages share very similar latin alphabets from the same code page (Central European, ISO-8859-1 or Windows-1250). ____________ Peter .-)

I cannot make those with caron (think it's called Haschek here), tried several character sets, even ISO-8859-2 which should contain them didn't do the job - sorry, I cannot help with those, I guess something has to be done in the PHP and/or database scripts to fix that. Best would be to go to UTF with all the processing and pages I guess.

The only way is to write under Western ISO-8859-1 mode and then also view the message under some non-UTF8 mode. But still the S and Z characters are wrong. While editing in the Western ISO mode all characters are correct. ____________ Peter .-)

I noticed, taht forum has some problems with displaying Polish chcaracters

There are no such problems on teams' pages for example:
