βγδεη

Erm, please someone give an explanation why the Fight Feed does display those greek letters and the other pages do not?

ControlFreak March 24 2010 1:07 PM EDT

Different character encoding?

BadFish March 24 2010 1:07 PM EDT

seems to me the page is displaying the letters fine. the only thing not displaying the correct letters is the title of the thread.

AdminShade March 24 2010 1:08 PM EDT

BadFish: so you actually see greek letters alpha beta etc?

The Valaquenta owned βγδεη Byden?

With Unicode UTF-8.. yes

With ISO-8859.. no

That's what I see in the title.
In your post, and in the fight feed, and on the character page, I see Byden (in greek letters) displayed correctly.

Using japanese encoding renders some neat katakana instead of greek letters.

On my crappy work PC, I see a long janky mess in the title (numerical equivalents of the letters) and inside the thread I see a different, shorter janky mess that appears as columns of "I"s with a couple of numbers and carat symbols. This PC is fairly bare-bones and I don't expect it to have any language packs added on.

LoL Demi, I am with you on this one.

I only see this correctly displayed on the fight feed. On the character page I see what I copy/pasted below the character link in 1st post.

In Firefox.. go to View.. Character Encoding.. and set it to Unicode UTF-8.

In Explorer there is probably a similar solution, but I wont touch that.

Ahh, nice! :)
