The my.yahoo.com page works fine, but if I hit any of the news stories
(beginning with dailynews.yahoo.com) it drops into Japanese Shift-JIS encoding
and thus drops into MS Gothic for the story body, which is ugly. If you
manually drop into View/Character Encoding and select "Western" then
everything's fine. I looked at the source code and didn't see anything obvious.
Don't know a good way to see HTTP headers on Windows but I don't have this
problem with any other browsers. You can actually see the page load up in
standard Times Roman, and then a fraction of a second later switch into MS Gothic.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to my.yahoo.com
2.Pick any of the dailynews stories
3.
Actual Results: I saw the news story in MS Gothic
Expected Results: Should have been in standard fonts
I do have all the Japanese/Chinese/etc stuff installed & working over in IE. I
also have one Adobe font installed which means that Adobe Font Manager has to be
installed too. Aside from that it's a pretty vanilla win98 box.

I can reproduce this when I set "View->Character Coding->Auto-Detect" to Japanese.
Possibly the page has non ASCII byte sequence to fool the detector.

Tim, could you check you auto-detect setting, if that off or something is selected?

I got an e-mail from the reporter. Auto detect was set to Japanese.
I cannot reproduce this with NS6.01.
Auto detection quality issue, reassign to ftang.
