Normally, Microsoft products (i.e., Windows) display using a Microsoft character set, the famous codepage 1252 (I think that's the one). So you may well have the correct unicode character, but it will be displayed according to the codepage. If the codepage doesn't have characters for them, it will show empty boxes. It's possible that your processor will be able to output the Microsoft encoding (I forget the usual encoding string for this, but you should be able to find it, something like: encoding='cp-1252'). Or you could try for iso-8859-1 and see if you get usable displayed characters. There's no use in changing the codepage on your own computer to try to solve this, because other people who might see your pages won't have changed their settings, and some of them may be using codepages for different alphabets anyway. Maybe someone else knows a solution for this problem of displaying high-order characters... Cheers, Tom P XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
