TOPIC: GREEK fonts error!

What's happening to you all? Almost half components I've downloaded do not support greek fonts. So does jomcomment!

have a look:

EDIT: SORRY, THAT IS THE CORRECT SCREENSHOT:

How am I going to enable greek fonts? Huh? Maybe switching to Greek (ISO) or UTF-8 encoding? I don't know how, just make it work. Unfortunately I'm exposed as I've already announced the use of comments in my site! ( www.gameworld.gr )

Please give me a solution as quick as possible!

Please use our demo section and test greek fonts. If it is working there, then it is only matter of settings.

It's working in your demo section.

So, what should I do?

Sorry but I'm a noob, please tell me exactly what to do to change the encoding to the correct one


(I went to Content Settings-Backend language and changed this function to "Greek" but it didn't work.

Are you using joomla 1.0 or 1.5? What is your site encodifn utf-8 or something else. In what encoding are the data saved in the database?(use phpmyadmin to check the last one)

I have Joomla 1.5.8, but Legacy 1.0 (it was an update from Nuke Evolution)

- How can I see my site's encoding?
- How can I see the encoding in which data is saved in my database?

(please tell me exactly where to go to see these, as I told you before I'm a noob!)

I suppose it is utf-8(since joomla 1.5 default installation is utf-.
What I need you to make is go to your database(use phpmyadmin from your hosting panel) and check the database collation. Anything differen than utf8_general_ci will make problems.

What is the database collation? What are you talking about?
As I said before I'm a noob in these matters. I can login to phpmyAdmin so tell me what to do next.

Using google is not so bad

www.google.de/search?hl=de&q=database+co...G=Google-Suche&meta=

I've searched a lot but I can't figure out what to do!

Here's my site:

Please tell me how to check in which encoding my data is saved

aha!!!! Now I see where the problem comes from!

You see that jos_comment is in latin1_swedisch_ci - that means that it can not support utf-8. You have to change this to utf8_general_ci and it is going to work.

click on jos_comment -> then go to the operations tab and change to utf8_general_ci. Do that everywhere where you see latin1_swedisch_ci and then please come back and say that now it is working and that you love us

IT'S WORKING!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
