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. ------- Email Received From Antti Andreimann <anttix.ee> 06/02/99 22:14 -------

do you have a sample web page that we can use as an example?
Sure: Go to http://www.mail.ee or http://www.it.ee
Verified in test lab using http://www.mail.ee with Netscape 4.61.
While netscape is broken, we really can't sed the binary as a matter of course.
