Re: Problem with Greek fonts in OpenLDAP 1.1

[John Kristian <kristian@netscape.com>]

What is the character encoding (=charset) of the Web pages?  Can that encoding
represent the Greek characters?  For that encoding, is the browser configured
to use a font that can display the characters?  In Navigator, you can see the
charset by right-clicking in the page, and selecting "View Info" or "View Page
Info" or "View Frame Info" from the popup menu.  You can see the font
configuration by clicking the menu "Edit | Preferences... | Appearance |
Fonts".  Many charsets are described in RFC 1345.

Try simplifying the test case, by eliminating web500gw and the LDAP server.
Copy the Web pages that work and don't work into .html files.  Can you
reproduce the problem by simply opening the files (in the browser)?  If not,
try publishing the files in a simple HTTP server (e.g. Netscape FastTrack or
Enterprise, or Apache).  Can you reproduce the problem by browsing the files
there?
