Well i don't really understand what you mean. Altavista is using a special font or what? Isn't it just a bunch a bytes that the web server is returning? Moreover russian and greek can be encoded in utf-8 with no need for special fonts, right?.

Hai Frank, I may be wrong but its my guess Usually u see squares only when its an issue with Font If some reader unable to decode the bytes with some encoding.. it will throw an error :) Mehar On 10/24/06, Java Freelance <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I am trying to use http://babelfish.altavista.com online traduction > tool to dynamically translate from a language to another. > But when i try to parse babelfish response to my request for a > translation to russian or greek, i get little squares instead of > russian or greek characters.
