Hello,

I think this is because of the page encoding and it is normal not to show up.

If you create a web page in German, but without using any META encoding is showing up the correct charset?

I think the only way to show diff. languages (f.e. german and polish) is to use utf-8 encoding

edit: strange is that server returns a greek encoding while the docuement encoding is western... this is wrong.

I see. Then the problem is propably that, because the forum uses ISO-8859-1 encoding.

the german characters are included in the tabel of iso-8859-1 the problem is different:

the doc encoding is not the same then the encoding send by the server. You can see this via the context menu of you FF browser (view page info)

Maybe it is a bug of the RSS to Post script.

Can you please post some german characters to see if it is working good?

Yes that's the default Apache's language, but it's ok. Browsers see the document's encoding to parse the page.

I remember there was some setting needed inside apache...
Code:
AddCharset ISO-8859-1  .iso8859-1 .latin1
AddCharset ISO-8859-2  .iso8859-2 .latin2 .cen
AddCharset ISO-8859-3  .iso8859-3 .latin3
AddCharset ISO-8859-4  .iso8859-4 .latin4
AddCharset ISO-8859-5  .iso8859-5 .latin5 .cyr .iso-ru
AddCharset ISO-8859-6  .iso8859-6 .latin6 .arb
AddCharset ISO-8859-7  .iso8859-7 .latin7 .grk
AddCharset ISO-8859-8  .iso8859-8 .latin8 .heb
AddCharset ISO-8859-9  .iso8859-9 .latin9 .trk
AddCharset ISO-2022-JP .iso2022-jp .jis
AddCharset ISO-2022-KR .iso2022-kr .kis
AddCharset ISO-2022-CN .iso2022-cn .cis
AddCharset Big5        .Big5       .big5
# For russian, more than one charset is used (depends on client, mostly):
AddCharset WINDOWS-1251 .cp-1251   .win-1251
AddCharset CP866       .cp866
AddCharset KOI8-r      .koi8-r .koi8-ru
AddCharset KOI8-ru     .koi8-uk .ua
AddCharset ISO-10646-UCS-2 .ucs2
AddCharset ISO-10646-UCS-4 .ucs4
AddCharset UTF-8       .utf8

# The set below does not map to a specific (iso) standard
# but works on a fairly wide range of browsers. Note that
# capitalization actually matters (it should not, but it
# does for some browsers).
#
# See http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets
# for a list of sorts. But browsers support few.
#
AddCharset GB2312      .gb2312 .gb
AddCharset utf-7       .utf7
AddCharset utf-8       .utf8
AddCharset big5        .big5 .b5
AddCharset EUC-TW      .euc-tw
AddCharset EUC-JP      .euc-jp
AddCharset EUC-KR      .euc-kr
AddCharset shift_jis   .sjis

do you have al this charsets in your apache config?

I remember that I have big trouble with sending forms  (right encoded) to the server until these setting are right. (but of course you don't need this here its an english board) Wink

Yeah you are right. This is not neccessery here.

I have seted those, actually apache 2 has an include file with those, so it is not a problem to use them now(I mean it is easier than with Apache 1.3).
