I am trying to set up a website using English and an Asian language (not supported by FrontPage) How do I do that wherein when the website is opened you can read the text in the language it was supposed to be read in and not gibberish English - right now, what it is doing is showing the letters on the keyboard that were used, instead of the language it is supposed to read it in. eg. the letter on the keyboard, say 'A' actually stands for another letter, and small 'a' stands for something else. But instead of showing that letter it shows the letter 'a' or 'A' and hence is totally gibberish like 3r or (aXI which means something in the Asian language but total gibberish in English!!
<br />
Can I just copy the font into FrontPage and would that do the trick (I have tried before but it not do it at that point!) Any suggestions?<br />
Thanks<!--content-->The user can not see the Asian language unless they have that language character set installed on their system.<br />
<br />
If you have a font for that language, you can embed the font in a page using CSS, but I forget exactly how to d o it because I have never had any need to do it before. I think you use @embed.<!--content-->Originally posted by sudhir <br />

What character encoding are you using on your page?<br />
Make sure it's one that allows for Asian text.<!--content-->where do I check if the character encoding is allowed by FrontPage? I have no clue. Would you please guide me? Thanks<!--content-->Originally posted by sudhir <br />

A correctly coded webpage should look something like this<br />
<br />
<br />
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"><br />
<html><br />
<head><br />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><br />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript"><br />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css"><br />
<title></title><br />
<link href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" title="Default" media="screen"><br />
</head><br />
<body><br />
<br />
</body><br />
</html><br />
<br />
<br />
This line states what letters may be used on the page<br />
<br />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><br />
<br />
In this case it's iso-8859-1 AKA Western<br />
<br />
If you want to use letters not in this charencoding you will have to use another one that includes all the chars you need. Don't ask me about which one it is for your asian language, becuse I've never coded an asian language webpage in my life and probaby never will.<br />
<br />
Perhaps you can find what you are looking for here though<br />

I believe that unless you actually plan on allowing the user to choose between multiple style sheets that title should be omitted. Otherwise this becomes your preferred style sheet instead of a persistent style sheet.<br />
<br />
html40<br />
Specify that the style sheet is persistent, preferred, or alternate: <br />
To make a style sheet persistent, set the rel attribute to "stylesheet" and don't set the title attribute. <br />
To make a style sheet preferred, set the rel attribute to "stylesheet" and name the style sheet with the title attribute. <br />
To specify an alternate style sheet, set the rel attribute to "alternate stylesheet" and name the style sheet with the title attribute.<!--content-->Originally posted by jeffmott <br />

<br />
Yes, but if you only have 1 stylesheet it makes absolutely no difference if it's a prefered or a persistent stylesheet.<br />
<br />
However the main reason I always include it is becuse it gives people a hint that this option exsists.<br />
<br />
Additionally, if you use a title, you can use Mozillas built in styleswitching functionallity to simply turn off all CSS on the page to get a quick view of how the page might look like in a non CSS capable browser.<br />
A quite handy feature that I use a lot

If it's a persistent sheet you don't have that option in Mozilla<!--content-->
