Hi!
I was just making a website in html and had trouble with character encoding in Gnome (Ubuntu).How can I change it ? I need iso-8859-2 and can't see my national characters now
when I'm making a website.They're present in the system tho.
Thanks.

Charsets are a nasty....

maybe edit your apache2.conf and enable taht:

Code:

    #AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1

(and set it to -2 of course)

Afterwards an apache restart is required. If you use PHP, you can also set it there:

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Code:

default_charset = "iso-8859-1"

Thanks but that's not what I meant.
I'm writing a website.This time in plain html and after that when a page is viewed in a browser I don't see my national fonts.
It's not the server's fault (this time

).
It's just the charset encoding.It would be great if I could switch it from current to my iso-8859-2 and the other way around but other ways would be ok too.

I don't get what you mean.

why don't you set the character encoding as I have told you?

Problem solved!

Offcourse programs like Quanta,Blue Fish,Amaya etc. have to be set to ISO-8859-2 instead of UTF-8.Next I've opened /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local and enter pl_PL.ISO-8859-2 ISO-8859-2.I've done the same thing with /var/lib/locales/supported.d/pl
I've heard that sometimes it doesn't work so I've edited /etc/default/locale just to be sure and typed LANG="pl_PL.ISO-8859-2"
LANGUAGE="pl_PL.ISO-8859-2"

After logging off and back on I've got my native character set.
