mozilla/galeon freezes
 

Hi
Mozilla/galeon freezes whenever a page contains japanese/korean characters or such (happens often in a google search).
i'm using Debian, and Gnome.
If anyone had the same problem, or has an idea, help would be welcome :)
something must go wrong with fonts somewhere but i got no idea where to look.

In Moz go to the drop-down menu marked "View" choose "Character Coding".

Normal setting is Western (ISO-8859-1) Auto-detect=off. If these are the settings you have try using something besides auto-detect.

thanks a lot!!
selecting ISO-8859-2 did the trick.
now i get weird characters instead of japanese characters and it doesent crash anymore.
thanks again (i might should have posted this in the newbie forum tho :newbie: )

I dident find the ISO-8859-1 coding. I have another problem now: if i close galeon and restart it, i still got the problem. it doesent seem to save my character coding selection.

Go into the drop-down menu "Edit">choose "Preferences">Navigator>Languages. Make sure the san coding is entered at the bottom and save. English/United States [en-us] should be in the box "Languages Order of preference"

yea thats what i got in languages.
autodetect off (only russian and some asian languages to select there, so i left it off).
Charset western (ISO-8859-1), languages English (En).
i still have to select a charset when i start galeon, else it crashes

I don't use Galeon, but next time it crashes type in terminal


#dmesg


the output should give you a hint. Sounds as if it's conflicting with a config file.
Might check in your #HOME directory under a profile for Galeon or rc file.
