Default charset in Firefox2

Asked by Pkor

I'm a happy user of Firefox2 (Polish version) with Kubuntu.
I have problem with viewing web site made in Polish language in ISO-8859-2.
In FF is "intl.charset.default - SO-8859-2"

Beginning of the source code of site:

"!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" >
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-2" />...."

FF shows Polish characters bad way - using Unicode UTF-8 set.
Don't know why?
It is OK if I change the set to ISO manually
How to manage it?

check on view menu what kind of char set is setting. In customize you can add iso-8859-2 charset in the list.

If you don't solve, post here a link of a page you see badly letting us to reproduce your problem

Thanks a lot for the answer!
I have my website on localhost ;)
When I start it there is a UTF-8 car set set.
And there are seen 2 other ISO-8859-2 and Windows-1250.
When I set to ISO-8859-2 is OK.
When customize the list - adding, moving and removing sets - it doesn't help.
After restart of FF and start the site - UTF-8 is automatically set.
What is wrong?

you may need to check th charset configuration in your apache configuration on your server. You might have the deafult set to utf-8

Thx a lot!
I though about the same but thank you for the help.
In php.ini was commented:
;default_charset = "iso-8859-1"
and I changed it into:
default_charset = "iso-8859-2"
and it resolved the problem. :D
