Forum Moderators: open
and am using £ to display a ukpounds stirling pound sign
however it it not displaying properly, it works fine in firefox and ie.
i'm sure it was working before and am wondering if it is due to the setting on my computer rather than opera.
any thoughts
£Also, how are you defining the charset? A meta element or via a HTTP header?
as meta
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
have just tried forcing it in opera through tthe view menu.
no change
strange, i'm not going to loose sleep over it,
(It could be the font you are using in Opera simply doesn't include that character.)

on further investigation it is showing in place of several special characters...
including ½ and ¾
<update> i've reinstalled opera again and the problem has gone
as a note i have another site using the same special characters (eg £ € and the various fractions) and they were showing correctly, it was only on the one site that they weren't showing.
but as i say i've reinstalled opera and the problem has gone!
... thanks for your input guys.
