Problem with fonts displayed on webpage

Christiana · May 13, 2001

I'm using Access 2000 to store my data and asp to display its contents to the web. My data are written in greek. When I display it on the web though they are replaced with questionmarks (?) and some latin characters. I don't have problem with the words I wrote directly on the page.
Does anyone know what has to be done?
Please, any suggestions are acceptable as i'm looking at a deadline VERY soon.
Thank you in advance

As I look in my huge HTML reference book, I see the codes to declare that the HTML document is in greek.

To declare what language the page is, you use this code in the <HEAD> of your document:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="language-code">

The greek code I have here is "el", so your code should look like this:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="el">

Hope this does it for you! ~Javrix

If you gave an infinate number of rednecks, an infinate number of shotguns to shoot at an infinate number of street signs, they would eventually write Romeo and Juliet in braille.
