Haiku website rendered wrongly in Safari

1

Hi,

Under OS X, Safari (but not Camino) is having trouble with the umlaut in Axel Dörfler’s name. The code looks like this:
Axel D?rfler
or rather like this:

In Safari it looks like this:

But I was able to get it right on my own webpage, using utf-8 characters, and putting the line <meta content=“text/html; charset=utf-8” http-equiv=“Content-Type”> into the head on the page. The code looks like this:
<p>Alex Dörfler unter anderen Überinformatikern.<p>
In Safari it looks like this:

My grasp of the relevance of all the encodings is not that great, but I would not be alone in thinking this is way to go.

Regards,

Mark

Hmm, it seems that the image thing is not working. Sorry about the copying and pasting you may have to do.

I think phpBB is picky about the extension of the reference… maybe try .tif (one f) or a different format such as .png…

Instead of setting the page encoding to UTF-8, the site could also use escape sequences such as &ouml; to get an o with an umlaut.

Really, all that the webmaster need do is include charset=iso-8859-1 in the <meta> tag.
