Hello,

I am a little puzzled, but probably it's a Rev beginner question.

I have text fields with german text, including Umlaute and "sz". On Win (IDE
and standalone) everything looks quite normal with Umlaute. But the
standalone on a Mac doesn't shows the Umlaute and sz. It replaces them with
any special signs.  From Webdesign I know this topic and differences
depending on setting the charset like e.g. charset=iso-8859-1. I know
differences between browsers, etc. but where is the difference between Win and Mac with showing Character Sets? Can I assign a charset to a field or
something like this? I didn't find anything.

Tiemo,
There are several ways to approach it. You are right that it is a character set issue. Check out the ISOtoMac and MacToISO functions in the dictionary. They will allow you to translate upper ASCII characters between ISO 8859 and MacRoman character sets.

You could also import UTF8 files into your stack, but this might be overkill for what you're doing.
