davethehorse Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Hello All,I have just joined the forum and have a question. Yesterday I downloaded some accounting software to try out but later decided to uninstall it. Ever since Internet Eplorere has displayed £ fonts as a J - anyone here know what I have to do to correct this problem?Thanks,Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I've heard of this problem before - without much success in curing it, unfortunately. It happens with some banking sites and the user blames the bank and the bank blames the user's computer.If you're on ME or XP you could try a System Restore.Also, not much help to you now, but could be in the future, is I ALWAYS make a backup of my system before installing any hardware or software into my machines - just in case of something like you're experiencing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 All websites ?In IE go to view > encoding >select western europeandoes that help ? Are you suggesting Western European ISO or Western European Windows? Mine was set at ISO, I have switched to Windows to try it out, but cannot at this stage see anything different.

mark2 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Are you suggesting Western European ISO or Western European Windows? Mine was set at ISO, I have switched to Windows to try it out, but cannot at this stage see anything different.Why change it if it's working ? If it ain't broke don't fix it :D However in IE & FirefoxI have Western European ISO and in Opera W E 1252 (windows) all as originally installed (defaults ? ).

andsome Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Since changing it I noticed that it had changed back when I next had a look. I tried setting it to Auto select, and it now changes from page to page, and site to site. Have a look and see if your settings do the same.

davethehorse Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Thanks for the tips to try but nothing has made any difference as yet - £ signs on Ebay site for example are shown as J - very strange.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 What product was it you downloaded that caused this problem ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Not able to help but is the £ sign normal in your word processor etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 What do you get if you hold down the Alt key and type in 0163 from the numeric keypad (not the numbers on the alpha keyboard)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I knew we had had this problem before see here, it seems the problem was resolved by doing a repair install! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadyassa Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Same problem as you but dont think it is sorted yet. £ is a J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
