[Mageia-discuss] Charset

[Gary Montalbine]

I have this website:
http://knottsislandonline.com/kiscrapbook/index.html

I have just noticed my charset has changed to <meta content="text/html; 
charset=windows-1252" in the new updates. My default is <meta 
content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1". A random check of my html files 
on my harddrive indicates all files were changed. This has happened 
sometime in the last 2 weeks. There has been no change to the html files 
on the web that are older than 2 weeks. I have no idea what charset 
is/means or it's effect. I dislike anything that says "windows". When I 
save a file with charset=ISO-8859-1" it is changed to 
charset=windows-1252 when I reopen it. Apparently my editor is messing 
up. How can I change the charset in all files and can someone recommend 
a simple editor that might work better?

I am using Seamonkey as my editor and mageia2 with Firefox.
Thanks, Gary
