So it is Lynx that is prefixing the "extra" charset=iso-8859-1 META at the top of the page. Thanks for correcting me on that point. Also, apologies to Thorsten for my having added to the confusion. BUT, now I'm more curious than ever. Am I right to continue to assume this is a case of misconfiguration of the server? To have Lynx render the page "http://www.feyrer.de/JP/"; correctly (at least on my system) the charset meta must be the one in the header, "charset=euc-jp", not the one Lynx prefixes, "charset=iso-8859-1". After downloading the page with Lynx, either deleting the META that Lynx prefixes, or editing it to "euc-jp", fixes the rendering of the Japanese. Is there a bug in Lynx? Specifically, what should "Assumed document character set" in the "Display and Character Set" section of the O)ptions Menu do? If I change it from "iso-8859-1" to "euc-jp" there is no change in the rendering of the page; it is still garbled. Shouldn't that be a manual override that would allow Lynx to render the page correctly? I ask because (at least my Japanized edition of) MSIE has a way to correct the display by manually chosing "Japanese (EUC)" under "Encoding(D)" in the "Display(V)" pull-down. It would be nice if Lynx could do that, too. __Henry "Using Lynx is like wearing a really good pair of shades: cuts out the glare and harmful UV (ultra-vanity), and you feel so-o-o COOL." -- me, March 1999 _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
