Content Server - character display problem

We have a portal where the content is all in Italian.
When users are adding content in Content Server, the HTML editor shows international characters correctly.
But when they are published, these characters mess up and do not seem to be getting encoded properly.
How can I get international characters to display properly in Content Server??

Hi Andrew,When you add content in Content Server 5.0, the text is encoded in UTF-8 (an encoding of Unicode). Content Server uses Unicode so that content in any language of the world can be added to Content Server. However UTF-8 characters will not be recognized as UTF-8 by most browsers unless you also add a "meta" tag which identifies the data as UTF-8.
The meta tag looks like this:<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
Content Server makes adding the tag easy with a feature in the Presentation Template editor. Just "right-click" on the rich-text editor window and select the "Insert HTML shell" menu item. This will give you the proper <html>, <head>, and <body> tags that go with a properly formed HTML page. The meta tag will also be automatically inserted inside the <head> tag.

  • OO4 character Display Problem

    Hi All,
    I am using Oracle OLE objects to connect to Oracle 9.2 DB
    The NLS Language for the Database is AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8ISO8859P6
    the client is using also the same NLS.
    When I retrive the information using OO4 some varchar2(Arabic Language) are return incorrectly from the DB, however when I use ADO on the same clinet it's correctly retrive all Data.
    I've only on home at my PC, and its NLS language is correct, even when I use SQL*Pluse the characters are displayed correctly.
    I also retrieved the NLS_LANG from the application using "SELECT USERENV ('LANGUAGE') FROM DUAL"
    and it was correct using ADO and OO4.
    Of course I've checked the registry value NLS_LANG and it's also AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8ISO8859P6
    Any Help????

    I think after all it is a problem with the either:
    a. OS installer, which should really try to delete fonts which are duplicated by new system fonts
    b. OS which should give precedence to new system fonts over old system fonts where there are two the same, especially when the system fonts are in /System/Library/Fonts and the old ones are in /Library/Fonts
    The major annoyance is that this problem appeared with Leopard and took me hours of searching to figure out its origin - when you don't know if it is a character entry problem (which I thought) or a character display problem (which it turned out to be). In the end the fix was simple - delete the superceded fonts.

  • Character display problem latin characters

    For some reason old fonts show latin characters when i type "o/" and "l/". The problem seems confined to old fonts (at least Geneva; Monaco; New York), so I guess it is a bug?

  • Character display problems....11g connecting to SQL server

    Hi Gurus,
    db: 11.2
    os: redhat 5.5
    there is a problem when with character display with sqlplus and even worst on TOAD, SQL Developer tool.
    there is a Heterogeneous connection between 11g and ms sql serever. i use freedts, unixodbc and dg4odbc to establish the connection.
    using isql tool...the select statement was well formatted..see sample |
    | Ventes USIM |
    | Resprise de charge provisionnees sur creance BUT when i use sqlplus some character are shattered..please see sample
    COST_NAME

    R e s p r i s e d e     c h a r g e p r o v i s i o n n e e s s u r c r e
    a n c ein other client tool e.g TOAD the output is worse just show only the first character of each row e.g V
    i have tried french and english value for nls_language but did not solve the problem.
    anybody with a clue of what is wrong...thanks

    It looks like some wrong character set conversion (more exactly -- lack of it) involving UTF-16 from MS SQL Server NVARCHAR data type. I cannot tell what went wrong and if this is a bug as I do not have experience with this configuration. Please, work with Oracle Support to diagnose and fix this issue.

  • Content Server 10gR3 installation problem on Windows 7

    Hi,
    I just started working on UCM. I tried to install Content Server 10gR3 on my machine with Windows 7 OS. When I try to install, the installation suddenly aborts or hangs until I abort it. Web server (Apache) and DB (Oracle 10g) are running fine.
    System has got adequate configuration: Enough Disk space, 2GB RAM and 2 GHz CPU
    The same installer worked perfectly on Windows XP Pro 2002 SP2. Can some one reply if UCM 10g is support on Windows 7 ? This, however, is only for learning purpose on my home PC and not for production use.
    I also tried running the installer in Windows XP compatible mode. But this didn't help me either. Do, I need to install Win XP to run it or is there any alternative to make it run on Windows 7.
    Thank you
    Rama

    Hi Srinath,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. Could you also please let me know if there is any advanced version of UCM (like 11g) that works on Windows 7 - before I go for a windows XP installation.
    Thanks again

  • HELP!!! character display problem in JEditorPane

    hi,
    I got a headache with my program which needs to display multiple language html page in a JEditorPane. For example, if user requests a Chinese page then page is read in from an inputstreamreader using Chinese charset encoding. But what JEditorPane displays is squares and this is a very common font problem. I did everything I can
    copy font.properties.zh to font.properties
    set JEditorPane font as Font("SIMSUN",Font.PLAIN,12)
    with the bug unsolved so far.
    I am using Windows 2000/ME in UK locale.
    Anybody could help please???

    yes, the input data, for example in the case of Chinese Simpilify Character, is read in using a decoder with charset GB2312. I think I can print them out on prompt console but in a unrecognizable format.
    Anyway, I would like to reconfirm the steps I took: (Presumably I know I am going to load a Chinese page)
    1. rename font.properties.zh to font.properties
    2. set the font of JEditorPane as ("SIMSUN",Font.PLAIN,12)
    3. when try to load a Chinese page, there should be a ChangedCharSetException. extract the charset from the exception and use it to construct a new InputStreamReader.
    4. I also set the content-type of JEditorPane as something like "text/html; charset=gb2312"
    5. read in the data and parse it into a HTMLDocument instance.
    6. finally use setDocument method to display the document on the JEditorPane.
    In this way, the page gets displayed in unknown characters.
    Anybody could show me something different but feasiable? Please!!!

  • Crystal Report Oracle ODBC driver invalid Thai character display problem

    Hi,
       My server has CR Oracle ODBC 5.1 installed on last week. We have several reports in the servers which called by our Application to export to text file and pdf file. Sometimes, the output (both text file and pdf file) can't display Thai character correctly. The text file show Thai character in question mark and pdf file show in square box. This problem occur randomly and disappear without doing anything. Sometimes the problem occur for an hour and gone but sometimes occur 10-15 minutes and gone. This problem also not happen every days. Once the problem occur, all reports with Thai character will fail.
       However, we have another server installed the same Application, same OS level, same OS patches and same CR Oracle ODBC driver version installed on the same time as above server (the problem server). This server does not have any problems.
       Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Best Regards,
    Noppadon S.

    Hi Noppadon,
    Thank you for the info. If it happens randomly in their application then it's something they need to debug. Could even be in the ODBC driver.
    I suggest you tell them that because it works sometimes it shows the issue is likely in their software because if it failed all the time then it would be in Crystal dll's. They need to debug the problem, suggest they use tools like Process Monitor from www.sysinternals.com to step through to see where or what part is failing. If they having logging abilities that may help to find out what step is failing and in which API.
    At this point we have no way of determining where the problem is, it's failing in their application and no one but them know what or how they are using CR runtime files.
    If you can duplicate the problem using Crystal Report Designer then it's our problem, if not they have to help you to show us it is a CR issue.
    Sorry we can't be of more help but without know their code we can't suggest anything to try. Suggest they log a call with support here to help them debug the problem if they don't know what to do.
    Thank you
    Don

  • Japanese Character Display Problem

    It seems like the new JRE does not allow Japanese characters to be displayed on anything but the title bar of an application when running on a US English XP SP2 system with all of the proper language support installed.
    I can see the Japanese Characters in the title bar, but in the rest of the application, they appear as outlined blocks. All of the text is coming from the same resource bundle so I know that it is loading correctly because it appears in the title bar correctly.
    On a Japanese system with XP SP2, everything works as expected. Is there anything that I can do to correct this? I am using JRE 1.4.2 to compile the application, and the latest JRE to display it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    -Steve

    HI out there,
    i'm having similiar problems when trying to parse / transform a database-generated xml-string containing Japanese characters into an html using a saved xsl file. I've tried zillions of ways (got from specialized forums) to do it getting hardly the same result all the time.
    Now the point is that i'm getting the known-by-all "???" characters
    but i've checked that the xml string is Genereted correctly from
    the database using in my JSP page:
    String aux = new String(TXT_FROM_DATABASE.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8");...
    then the JSP sets
      request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"); (not necessary i guess)
       response.setContentType( "text/html; charset=UTF-8" ); and calls a function XML2HTML (from a *.class) that makes necessary
    operations to call the transformer.transform method:
    // auxiliary function to convert the string into UTF-8 (to ensure)
    // has been tested that when calling to xml2html the String xml_string
    // is correctly formed and does contain all japanese characters (all)
    public static String convertString(String s, PrintWriter pw_out) {
           try{
             if(s == null) return s;
             String aux = "";
             byte[] bari = s.getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
             aux = new String(bari, "UTF-8");
             return aux;
           }catch (Exception e){
             pw_out.print(e.getMessage());
             return "";
      public static void XML2HTML(String xml_string, String xsl_file, ServletRequest req,
          ServletResponse res) {
          PrintWriter p_out=null ;
          String appdir = req.getRealPath("/"); 
          try{
            p_out = res.getWriter(); 
          } catch (Exception ioException){
            System.out.print(ioException.toString());
          // transformating ...
          try {
          // Creating the transformer object from the XSLT_file
          javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource xslFile  = new StreamSource(new File(appdir+"\\"+xsl_file+".xsl"));
          javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
          javax.xml.transform.Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(xslFile);
          transformer.setOutputProperty(javax.xml.transform.OutputKeys.ENCODING,"UTF-8");
          transformer.setOutputProperty(javax.xml.transform.OutputKeys.INDENT,"yes");
          transformer.setOutputProperty(javax.xml.transform.OutputKeys.METHOD,"html");
         // create the source Stream
          String xmldata = convertString(xml_string,p_out);
          StringReader xml_sr = new StringReader(xmldata);
          StreamSource xml_source = new StreamSource(xml_sr);
          // result Stream
          javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult outResult = new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult(p_out);
           //calling the transform method !! (source/result)
          transformer.transform(xml_source,outResul
          } catch (Exception e){
            p_out.print ("<br/>EXCEPTION__" + e.toString());
            p_out.print ("<br/>CAUSE" + e.getCause());
            p_out.print ("<br/>nMSG" + ((TransformerException)e).getMessageAndLocation());
    } and my XSL DOES contain these lines at the very beginning:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8" media-type="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>more:
    * all my files are saved as UTF-8
    what makes me go crazy:
    * In the jsp after the call to the xml2html method i've written
    <%=xml_string%> and it does write "????" characters for all elements
    except for one of them (japanese word that i wrote out directly in japanese,
    but if in the jsp page i INCLUDE
      <%@page language="java" pageEncoding="utf8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF8"%>
    THEN THIS only written-out element in japanese is not displayed correctly either.
    and even MORE !
    if in the xsl file i include:
      <head>
      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
      </head> it does not display it correctly neither...
    is this possible ?
    may the problem be that the function i'm calling is in a *.class ?
    please help (i've been working around for days now)
    my work enviroment is
    eclipse (project set to utf-8 encoding)
    wsas 5.0
    jdk 1.4
    thank you for your time
    and nice day to you all!!

  • Greek Character Display Problem

    Hi
    Server Side : We are using Oracle 8i . Database Character Set = UTF8.
    Client Side: Windows XP. Modified Control Panel->Regional Settings -> Advanced->Language for non-unicode program = Greek.
    Changed Alter session set NLS_Language = GREEK
    When we opened the oracle connection in our VB application.
    From our Visual Basic application
    Now I am able to input greek chars, Retrieve it back and displayed correctly.
    But When we copy a particular string and paste it in a field, one particular
    character is always showing as ?. As we don't have a greek keyboard, I don't
    know what combination of keys to press to key-in that particular character.
    This is the Word I have copied from Editor and pasted it in the VB field.
    &#927;&#957;&#959;µ&#945; &#949;&#960;&#953;ß&#940;&#964;&#951; .
    Except the Character which looks like B, all other greek characters are getting displayed properly and inserted correctly in the database. Only that particular letter is displayed as ? (question mark)
    Any idea what is wrong !!.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Hot Sync with Non-latin Character Display Problem

    I have a XP Home Desktop with Palm Desktop 4.01 installed. When I do a hot sync with my Sony Clie T655C, the chinese characters are display correctly in both XP home Desktop and the Clie.
    Now, I have a netbook with window7 Starter installed for travelling use. It took me a while to resolve the problem on the hotsync with window 7 starter and sony clie. At the end, I have Palm desktop v6.2 and Palmhotsyncsetup from pimlico on the netbook. I am able to do a hotsync with cradle/cable, but not through network (with TCP/IP not listen error message).
    I have installed the chinese, English, french IME for the window 7 Starter netbook. I am able to type Chinese character in Notepad and Word and display the character correctly. I am able to save the file ( filename in both chinese and english character), re-open it and all characters are displayed correctly.
    But with Palm Desktop v6.2, I am able to type chinese and the characters are displayed correctly in calendar/data book. When I close the palm desktop and re-open it again. All the characters become "?", as a result, I can not fully evaluate the software Pimlico for window desktop. As it only works with Palm desktop v6.2.
    Any suggestion?
