And that's your problem, the only characters that are compatible with UTF-8, are the US-ASCII ones. After that (character 127), there's differences. You have to use the correct encoding. If you're seeing changes in fonts depending on the encoding used, have a play with your client's font preferences. You might have to manually select font families for different encodings (named after localities, rather than listed as ISO-8859-x specifications, in Thunderbird). You probably want to untick the option to allow messages to use other fonts. Fonts issues are one thing I really dislike about Firefox and Thunderbird, they've convoluted it all to hell, and use *pixel* sizes in a disastrous fashion. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
