Setting Netscape Composer  to Type and Display

International Characters on a Apple Macintosh Platform

Step 1

Launch Netscape Composer HTML generator application.

Under Edit - Preferences you will adjust font and language settings that will enable you to type international scripts within a Web document.

Step 3
In the Preferences window select Fonts under Appearance menu.
In the For the Encoding drop-down menu, select Cyrillic if you want to write your Web documents in Serbian language and Cyrillic script.
Click OK when done.

Step 4
Remain in the Preferences window and click Languages under Navigator menu to see how many languages you have available to use with Netscape Composer. If English is showing, like in this example, click the Add button to add the language in which you desire to type in your Web document.

In this example, we are choosing a language that uses the Cyrillic script such as Serbian language.

When desired language is selected (highlighted) click OK button.

Step 6

You are now back in the Preferences window where you can see Serbian language showing along with previously existing English language. Click OK to close this window.

Step 7

The last Netscape Composer's setting you need to adjust before you start typing your document is to select Character Set encoding for your document.

You will select Cyrillic encoding if you want your Web site's visitors to see Cyrillic characters in your documents.

Cyrillic (Windows-1251) selected as a Character Set encoding will insert a "charset=windows-1251" code as the meta code in the head of your HTML file:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1251">

which defines that your document is supposed to be encoded with Cyrillic characters on visitors' browsers.
 
 

If Serbian language is not provided in the list of languages within an indicator, install it by following the procedures for keyboard language setup.
