Now that Voyager has some excellent font handling abilities, I'd like to
suggest some simplistic (easy to implement) actions taken on the Content-Type
"charset" tags..
For example, I can read the Russian pages from the BBC (
http://www.bbc.co.uk/russian/index.shtml ) because the usey many <font
face="Arial Cyr"> tags. If I configure Arial Cyr in the font mapper in prefs,
I can read the page. But most websites don't do this (and sections of the BBC
pages use the default page font), and you need to rely on the Content-Type
meta tag:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=windows-1251">
My suggestion is that Voyager should look for the "charset=" part of the
Contect-Type keyword, and should then set the "default" page font to a font in
the font mapping called (in this case) "windows-1251" (perhaps also it should
map "windows-1251-Fixed" for the fixed width font too..).
What do you think? It doesn't involve creating a entire character set
handling system.. and should let me read Russian, French, German and English
without needing multiple prefs files.
