charset question

hi :-)

i tried to get some data from some not-english sites using ss, but i found that ss would get results like "hel?k?od" in both ISO and utf-8 charset. Im looking for a solution to this, but i dont know where to get more information about these kind of problems.

waiting for your kind help.

charset question

hibercom,

Handling non-english standard character sets in screen-scraper can be a bit of chore. Along with the default character set you'll need to adjust the Default font used. The font Arial Unicode MS covers most all.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arial_Unicode_MS

As our FAQ mentions, screen-scraper supports any character sets supported by the 1.4.2 Java Virtual Machine. A complete list can be found here.

I hope this helps.
