There you got it... When I was cycling through the different Encodings, I selected Western ISO-8859-15 and the webpage was properly aligned except that there was no Chinese anymore in there... But the problem is that, the encoding style isn't being preserved over pages. The moment I move out of the page, it disappears and no encoding option is being selected...

Hi ▓
Do you see that? I mean, is the page extending itself toward either side?
Nope, don't see a problem. I am using Opera 9.22 and have all of the Microsoft Foreign Language fonts/character sets enabled.

Se the Encoding to Automatic. Then Opera will use the encoding that is DEFINED in the web page HEADER. If one isn't defined then it will use a default encoding. If an encoding is not set on every page for a site Opera isn't going to know that it should keep the same encoding. It can only go by what the site tells it to use. If the site fails to use an encoding setting in the header then it's not Opera fault if something other than intended was used.

I've tried setting it to Automatic. Thats where the problems are starting... Could there be some problem with the Windows Character Encoding?

I doubt it since you said it worked on another user account.

Try this...

Enter as the url opera:config

Click on Network

Under HTTP Accept Charset check to see if it says iso-8859-1, utf-8, utf-16, *;q=0.1 if not change it to this.

Now click on Save

Exit Opera and reload it and see if that changed anything. BTW, leave the encoding set to Automatic when you do this.

Yes... It was there from the beginning. I didn't change that. The text is exactly the same as to what you wrote in your post.

I don't know what else to tell you.

With the above post that kind of indicates there is something in your Windows Profile for that account that is causing the problem. I doubt if it is the fact you have installed the multibyte character sets as I have all of them loaded as well and no problems. Might want to check your Regional and Language Options and compare all of the settings between the profile that does work and the one that doesn't. See what is different.

Well... I don't see anything wrong even after comparison... Guess I'll admit defeat... :( I've tried almost everything that is possible for my level... 8O
