Hi all!
I can get the language from the
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS, but i'm having a lot of
difficulty getting the character set.
I'm afraid there is no way to do it, sorry!
Also, in my reading on character sets, I have come
across several documents that point out if you explictly
specify a font that does not contain good characters for a
foreign character set, some browsers will fail to render
the foreign text correctly, because they look at the font
instead of the character set setting. This may end up
being the fix we were looking for the Thai not rendering.
Right, I think you should never specify a font face except
in the case of a language that do not have a official ISO
code defined for it yet (for example we've faced the
problem with Georgian for phpMyChat).
At least you should always use a true and complete font family directive, I
mean for example:
* {font-family: helvetica, arial, geneva, sans-serif;}
where 'sans-serif' is always specified.
Regards,
Loic
