after check in the new nsCharsetAliasImp.cpp it should work fine now... g16776@msk.sitek.net: could you verify w/ build after May 5 ? Be sure not to test M5. M5 branch do not have the changes.

For default font, this bug fixed. But, if over fonts used (Arial Cyr, for sample), only western font shown.

Summary: Cyrillic does not display correctly → Cyrillic does not display correctly, if charset not defined.
If charset not defined in META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type", then only western (1252) chars viewed. Note: a lot of russian web pages have not "charset=***" in meta tag: pages decoding on server-side by browser request. And, title not displayed correctly always.

If the meta charset is not defined in html, then we have to relay on http charset, "default charset" menu, or charset detection to make decision. The cannot display problem is fixed. Mark it fixed. g16776@msk.sitek.net: Thanks for your feedback, but please do not recycle (reopen) the same bug for different problem. You are welcome to report seperate bug for title problem. Only reopen this bug if Cyrillic does not display in html in ANY GIVEN CASES
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
verified with 6/10/99 build.The "cannot display problem" is fixed. Marking as verified.If the meta charset is not defined in html, then we have to relay on http charset, "default charset" menu, or charset detection to make decision. Used this URL http://www.goods.ru/mob/ to verify. Page has no META TAG for charset but was viwed correctly in default (win-1251) encoding: thread pane, message header and body were correct
