Outlook Express6 Font and Encoding Questions
Thanks for the information. -- Pete B "Corday" wrote in message ... As a U.S. user, you're fine with Western European ISO. Each font has it's own characters. If you want to see why you get, what you get, open Fonts in the Control Panel. Some are symbols only. If you have a disc space problem, delete some fonts you'll never need. -- I mastered Wordstar graphics! "Pete B" wrote: Can somebody please explain to me what all the font and encoding options in WinXP SP3/IE 7/OEx 6 do? I know how to set these options, but I am not really sure what all the various options do. For example: What are the encoding options supposed to do? What is the difference between Western European ISO, Western Europe Windows, UTF-7, UTF-8, User defined, and how do those affect what is typed or read? What are the best settings for newsreaders and for email, or at least what is "standard", both text and HTML? I keep getting strange characters showing up in emails I receive, both news messages and mail messages, such as the one below: Ã, I have no idea what that character is supposed to be, and others also appear from time to time. Is this due to my email settings, my encoding, or due to the sender's setup, or even due to the ISP or some such? Is that character some kind of punctuation or what? I currently have my options set for W. Euro ISO encoding, using Incised901 Bd BT for proportional font, Lucida Console for fixed font, mail setting HTML quoted printables, News sending format plain text, MIME, encoding none, news compose Lucida Console 10 pt, mail compose Incised901 Bd BT 10 pt. Is that good, bad, or indifferent? Is there any MSKB info on all this stuff? The OEx Help files tell you HOW to set the options, but it really does not explain what the options do -- Pete B .
