Maybe it's just my computer, but the comments for RE4 aren't displaying correctly:

You either didn't set it to the correct encoding, or never installed support for East Asian countries in windows.

Control panel -> Regional and Language Settings -> Languages tab -> check "Install files for East Asian languages"

No, I've done that. Japanese characters display just fine on this page as well as on the forum. I'm not sure what you mean by setting it to the correct encoding.

If you're using Firefox 3:

View -> Character Encoding -> Unicode (UTF-8)

That made it look like proper kanji to me.

I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

pages are missing the content type meta tag on the header so they get read as the usual western charset

Now just cp on every page or at least the ones with special chars:

Code:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

Hmm, interesting. I had that before and it didn't work. But I went to View -> Character Encoding -> Auto-Detect -> Japanese and it worked (Firefox 2).

Thanks a bunch! I should have caught that myself but it works perfectly with whatever settings I have so I didn't notice. :-[

The only other page with Japanese right now is Super Metroid and it already serves utf-8 (so does the language page and others, that's why it worked for Manocheese on those). I think there's some reason why every page isn't utf-8 already but I can't remember whatever the rationale was, but it's from so long ago (before I joined) that maybe it doesn't even make sense anymore.

Good idea. All pages are utf-8 now.
