Not the most pressing of issues but annoying nonetheless.

When veiwing web pages and some emails, the £ sign is appearing as the letter J. This is not application or web site specific.

Can anyone give some guidance as to how this might be happening. I have run my security s/w (McAfee) every night since this has been happening and no viruses etc are being found

Thoughts?

Is language for non-unicode programs set to English (United States) or English (UK)?

IN IE, TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS

What shows in the dialogue box when you press the FONTS and LANGUAGES buttons

[henderj66]

In the fonts button, it shows cyrillic as the default. Have already tried changing to latin etc. In langs, just shows english etc. However, when I change the option in either fonts or langs, it does not give me the 'apply' option in the IE options splash

[gerryf]

Isn't there an OK button?

[gerryf]

My settings are FONTS
LATIN
TIMES NEW ROMAN under WEBPAGE
COURIER NEW under PLAIN TEXT

Regional is
ENGLISH (UNITED STATES) EN-US

[henderj66]

Thanks for this. When I go in to change the font setting, there is an OK button but when I then go back in, it has defaulted back to cyrillic. Also, the apply button is still shaded out

[gerryf]

are you using ie6?

[henderj66]

yes

try unicode (UTF-8) under view, encoding, more. This only happens to me on some sites and that usually fixes it so its less annoying.

Not sure where this function is. Can you direct me in very basic terms (lol)

[gerryf]

good call force

In IE, go to the tool bar on the top, choose VIEW, then navigate down 8 options to encoding

what is selected there?
