Greek HTML text not showing correctly from Firefox - but OK in preview

Hiya there, I would be so grateful if anyone could help me with this.

I am designing a website in English and Greek. When I do ‘preview’ all is OK. However, when I view from Firefox or Safari, once I have uploaded, the Greek HTML text is all ‘hieroglyphics’ - though the Greek text that I have typed as a ‘graphic item’ is fine.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Contact your webhost and let them know you need to be able to display
Greek characters on your site. It sounds like they need to make a
change to your setup to make this possible particularly if it is
working on your machine but not when you upload.

I hope this helps.

Check to see which character encoding your page is set to use. If it’s set to Automatic, try changing it explicitly to UTF-8. That should get things to work for you.

Dear Joe,

Thank you so much for your incredibly quick reply.

What a good idea - I shall do just that. With any luck, it might be
something that they can sort out!!

Happy Christmas and all that…
