Description Antti Andreimann 1999-06-03 01:08:35 UTC

Netscape 4.51 and later have problems with baltic codepages.
Specifically with windows-1257 and iso-8859-4. When you
go to a web page that has one of those character sets you
will see a screen filled with question marks. It's very
annoying. The temporary workaround by
Ville Hallik <Ville.Hallik> is to edit netscape
binary with sed and replace the strings corresponding to
faulty codepages with bogus ones. In a strange way there
are no problems with Cp1257 codepage.
Use enclosed script for temporary workaround.

do you have a sample web page that we can use as an example?

Comment 3 Antti Andreimann 1999-06-29 09:30:59 UTC

Sure: Go to http://www.mail.ee or http://www.it.ee

Comment 4 Jay Turner 1999-06-29 11:15:59 UTC

Verified in test lab using http://www.mail.ee with Netscape 4.61.

Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 1999-08-18 21:23:59 UTC

While netscape is broken, we really can't sed the binary as
a matter of course.
