Text Encoding - looking for assistance!



User: ILYA I. 12 years ago
Mac OS X 10.8.6; Safari 6.1; EverWeb1.1

Site looks exactly as it was designed. Super.

Publishing to host (nic.ru):
1. Russian Verdana Text - Encoding failed.
2. English Verdana Text - looks really thin


I appreciate an advise.

Sorry for the problems you are experiencing.

I am not sure why this would happen. Does your web host change your web site's encoding?

Dear Paul,
Looks like browsers can not reed (or interpret) "ew_siteInfo.xml" file. I have manually to instruct any browser i tried to encode UTF-8. After that it works.

This is what EW1.1 generated for "ew_siteInfo.xml":



Also some Widgets do not work properly. Changing changing encoding to UTF-8 solve its performance.

How to instruct browsers to encode default Unicode-UTF-8????

I appreciate your assistance.

Hm…
The index.html file already has the instruction:

meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"

I'm lost :)
Help needed.
Thanks.

What application do you use to upload the files to the server?

Is the FTP app set to use Unicode (UTF-8) as the default encoding?

1. I use WinSCP
2. I transfer .zip archive (binary mode). Then unzip command on the server.
User: Roddy 12 years ago
That could be the cause of the problem.

Try using an FTP app like Cyberduck.

I would recommend using Yummy Lite. $1.99 from the App Store.

Roddy,
I'm confused a lot!

As far as I transfer archive = all files comes unchanged. I believe, this is a kind of standard. What supposed to be different by using another FTP client???

I appreciate if you could provide me with some knowledge or a link...
Thanks
User: Roddy 12 years ago
I'm just suggesting that you try another transfer method since the encoding appears to be getting change - either in the transfer or on the server.

Well, i made it backward:

1. Executed zip command on server: entire derictory archived.
2. Downloaded from server back to HDD
3. Unpacked
4. MD5 ChecktSumm on all files executed against HDD files (which have been transferred earlier)= ALL FILES IDENTICAL


Thus, FTP client delivered everything correctly.
I do not understand your logic.
I have to fix UTF-8 by default.
Please, help..

Roddy,
I purchased Yummy FTP and uploaded my server from the clean. Nothing changed as expected :)

I expect your assistance on my steps. What supposed to be wrong? Why browsers can not get your instructions on UTF-8?

Thanks.

Have you contacted your hosting service's tech support about this? What do they say?

SOLVED!
I’m proud I fixed it by myself :)


Simple:
Create and add .htaccess file to the root folder of EW site with following content:

AddDefaultCharset utf-8
AddCharset utf-8 .html .css .js
DefaultLanguage en-US



Anyway thank you for assistance.
New FTP client looks acceptable.
Cheers!
