Mozilla on Win32 and PerlMonks

When using Mozilla on Win32, The stuff in code tags as well as the stuff in the input box comes out all weird. This is the only site I have found this problem. Is it some setting I'm not aware of?

Update: All weird as in the funky characters you see when your unix terminal has gone wonky. I don't know how better to describe it than that.

Solution: Thanks for all the help! Apparently, Mozilla 1.6 for Win32 defaults to AlpLine for monospaced. Once I changed that to Courier, everything was clear. :-)

Depends on what you mean by "all weird". I use firefox and Mozilla on Win32, and firefox and konqueror on FreeBSD, and I haven't noticed any problems. <swag>Maybe check your monospaced font settings?</swag> If that doesn't help, maybe a better description of "all weird" might help.	[reply]

Maybe you should point to a particular node that illustrates the behaviour and describe what the behaviour is. I haven't had any problems with Mozilla 1.7b on win98.	[reply]

I am running a nearly default install on WinXP (I have a theme installed) and I have not seen what you are talking about. There have been a couple of times that characters would not show up but I think that might be a font problem rather than a problem with the browser.	[reply]

I'd check your charset/encoding settings in the browser. That's the best guess I have for how it would go "all wonky". Also, are you using any custom css? That me be interfering with your character encoding as, well. I don't know for sure... but those are the first thoughts as to what would cause a problem like the one you're seeing.

Mozilla FireFox 0.8 on Windows XP Home Edition and it is all OK. Can you perhaps post a screenshot in your scratchpad, so we can see how "wonky" "wonky" is? CountZero "If you have four groups working on a compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler." - Conway's Law	[reply]
