HTML[edit]
Currently the charset encoding is handed over in HTTP header:
<jsp:directive.page pageEncoding="UTF-8" />
Some pages (Login Page) come with encoding handed over in the html head:
<head>
<title>eSciDoc - Login page</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
Display of Characters in Different Browsers[edit]
Although the page comes with proper encoding the browser needs to have a font witch contains the characters needed to be displayed. Fonts are maintained by the operating system. They can be requested via CSS (appearance.css):
body, label, input, textarea, select, button, input.numberLabel, h2, h3, h6, a {
font-family: Trebuchet, "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;
}
input[type=text], textarea {
font-family : Courier, "Courier New", serif;
}
h1, h4, h5 {
font-family: "Myriad Pro Condensed", "Arial Narrow", sans-serif;
}
