No German characers like &szlig; -looks like Beta- and &Ouml; -dotted
capital O-?

- Not shown links:
Just don't just nonASCII i links, it may fail at anystep down the line:
browser, proxy, webserver.
It might work if browser and webserver are on the same localized version of
the OS ...

- Not shown in content:
- By what browser on which OS?
Showing a question mark, a blank or an empty square is likely denoting
inability of the browser or its OS
- What type of content?
- HTML, XHTML, XML:
http://www.w3.org/International/O-charset.en.php
http://www.w3.org/International/ques...access-charset
http://www.answers.com/topic/iso-iec-8859
- use encoding like &szlig; and &Ouml;
- use the appropriate charracter set, like ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-15


A link to a proof of problem page might reveal more details.

Thanks HansH

I my testing browsers are, Mozilla Debian Package 1.7.12-1.2, Firefox
(Debian-1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.7-1), Opera 9.02 build 434 i686, 2.6.17-2-k7.
None of these show the non-english chatacters, Mozilla also doesn't show
the SSI parts of some of pages at all and does for others.
The web pages when downloaded from the production server are OK.

The new installation of Apache2 which replaced Apache 1.3.xx is at home
for testing only.


Since the production server, which I did not setup, feeds the pages
properly and the old Apache 1.3 I used for testing did also, I would
assume that that my Apache 2 set up is at fault.
