Browser stopped displaying European characters

[Haines Brown]

[I apoligize if this message is duplicated. I've not been able to gate
the newsgroup, and inadvertangly sent a message to it rather than
through the list, which I'm doing now].

I'm running Galeon and Firefox browsers under debian/sarge. I believe
they were displaying European accented characters (but I'm not sure)
until I realized that locale hadn't been properly configured and redid
the configuration. Now I have:

$ locale
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
...
LC_ALL=

At present, accented European characters are replaced by "?".

In Galeon, Preference, Fonts, I have "Western Encoding". In Firefox,
English is the preferred language. Default encodeing is ISO 8859-0. I
can add a language (German) to the Preferences list, but it has no
effect on the display of German accented characters.

Could you give an example of a page that is not displaying properly?

Since both browsers seem to have quit at the same time I would be
suspicious that you might have changed some font configuration that is
now mapping your font to one that doesn't have the characters you
want. Any recent changes to fonts?
