¿ 18/6/2007 - UTF8 Characters not appearing in Firefox
I had a situation today where UTF8 characters were not displaying properly in firefox. This was on a webapp I was making with ActiveScaffold.
Checking the headers of the web page showed the correct document declaration, so this wasn't the problem.
Then I checked that the actual characters on the page were valid UTF 8 with a NEAT-O piece of MAC software called UnicodeChecker is fantasitc! and that was all OK.
This had me stumped for a bit.
Then it dawned on me. I went into Firefox prefs and found that I did not have any default font set!
I then looked at the web page, and sure enough, no font was being sent in the CSS stylesheets!
Setting Firefox to a nice Unicode friendly font (like Monaco) solved the problem instantly.
Thought someone else might want to know :)
