How to get polish letters in ISO 8859-2 standard |
Lynx 2.6, and newer snapshots of Lynx 2.5FM should be able to convert ISO 8859-2 characters to any available charset (more details soon). In particular, if you have ISO 8859-2 fonts installed, they won't be translated. To turn proper conversion on, select the available charset in "Display charset" option in config menu available after pressing o key.
Lynx 2.5 (and 2.4FM)Standard Lynx 2.5 has built-in characters conversion, but only for ISO 8859-1 characters. In order to display ISO 8859-2 characters you have to have ISO 8859-2 fonts installed and choose ISO 8859-2 charset in "Display charset" option in config menu available after pressing o key.
Lynx (older versions)Older Lynx versions (up to 2.4.2) don't have character conversion mechanisms. In order to display ISO 8859-2 characters you have to have proper font installed.
