Description Eeli Kaikkonen 2004-08-25 16:58:39 UTC
Description of problem: 
 
Html sources of web pages should have information that they are 
encoded in utf8. w3.org validator 
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ffedora.redhat.com%2F 
says: 
 
"No Character Encoding Found! Falling back to UTF-8. 
 I was not able to extract a character encoding labeling from any of 
the valid sources for such information. Without encoding information 
it is impossible to reliably validate the document. I'm falling back 
to the "UTF-8" encoding and will attempt to perform the validation, 
but this is likely to fail for all non-trivial documents. " 
 
The page seems not to be valid html 4.01 strict anyways. 
 
All browser, e.g. konqueror from Debian KDE 3.3.0 package does not 
autodetect the encoding correctly and shows some characters, e.g. (R) 
wrong.

Not sure when this was fixed, but it is showing utf-8 encoding now.
