rendering foreign characters in apache?
Running apache2 on Debian testing. What do I need to install/configure to get Chinese or Japanese text to render in apache? I cut/pasted some text from a RTF document and when I load the document via http://server/document.html it is a bunch of gibberish and the foreign characters (in this case Japanese) is not rendered. I even added: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=utf-8 / to the HTML file but this made no difference.

Zach http://www.fidei.org Can you do the trick with left-ctrl+alt+u and then add a 4 character hex Unicode from the list, which I believe includes Japanese? You'll have to Google for the Unicode list. That's the only way I know to get _real foreign_ foreign languages--it will do Greek and Arabic and Hebrew, and I think it will do Chinese and Japanese, and maybe even Korean. You might have to do some sort of setup first. --doug -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Zach Apache itself does not render any text, it just outputs text to your browser. You have to define the used character set in HTML and make sure your browser can use the desired font. If you don't have chinese or japanese fonts installed in your system, yuo cannot see them. -- Juha Tuuna -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Before blaming you apache2, make a quick test with external sites: http://www.yahoo.co.jp/ http://www.yahoo.cn/?loop=true Do they render fine? If no, you need to install some japanese or chinese fonts on the client side ;-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: rendering foreign characters in apache?
Hi, take a look to this file: /etc/apache2/conf.d/charset By default have commented the line *AddDefaultCharset UTF-8* uncomment that line and reload apache, maybe help you Regards. 2011/1/7 Camaleón noela...@gmail.com On Fri, 07 Jan 2011 03:51:58 -0500, Zachary Uram wrote: Running apache2 on Debian testing.
