Japanese characters are not showing up properly

Post by ukoziak »

Hi guys, I have a problem with the website.

I've tried every Japanese character encoding I had in Firefox, but the Japanese characters just won't show up. How to fix this? Thanks.

Just testing: 蟲師

Huh. That seems to work for me. Where do you mean?

And to show that I'm not lying:

Running Firefox 3.0.19 in Ubuntu 8.10. Character Encoding tested with both Western (ISO-8859-1) and Unicode (UTF-8). Maybe you don't have the right font support?

UPDATE: Ah, it's been so long since I've had to do this. If you're running Windows XP (and I believe, 2000, ME, and 98, but it's been so long...), you have to install East Asian Language support from your Windows CD. Here's some instructions: http://newton.uor.edu/Departments&Progr ... on_XP.html

I seem to remember that Windows 7 worked right out of the box; I don't know about Vista though.

I already have the East Asian Language support. This is the only website where the Japanese character's don't show up.
