Reading Chinese characters in Mozilla Firefox?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello,

I use the Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 for Windows browser, and every time I try to read any internet page with Chinese writing, unless the writing is an image, the script shows up as question marks!

For example, a few sentences in Chinese shows up as this on my browser:

楊程鈞一家人

從小用心陪伴,楊鴻銘和太太林玉葉,親手把兒子楊程鈞送進哈佛,人生,了無遺憾

一個台商父親,為了培育下一代,舉家移民美國20年,他失去公司上市的機會,卻得到一個哈佛子弟,——這是 全世界5千萬個高中畢業生,競逐的1,650個機會。

Is there any program that I can download or someway I can fix my browser/computer so that I the Chinese characters will actually LOOK like charactes? Thanks very much!

The stuff you pasted looks fine to me! I'm using Firefox 1.5.

Maybe the pages you're looking at aren't making it easy for your browser to work out the encoding. Click "view / character encoding / auto_detect / chinese" and if that doesn't work, pick some by hand from the "east asian" list.

I also use 1.0.7, and I have no problems.

Can you see the text on this webpage?

Are all characters question marks?

Can you see characters in other applications?
