I don’t mean Freeway, although I am still working at getting RWD right using V7.0.4. I mean that for one viewer, in Australia, the home page displays text in Greek rather than English. The Greek text is much more beautiful (I will frame a screenshot for my office wall) but not very useful for my mostly English speaking viewers. How can this be prevented?

This may be down to his default browser settings as certainly your index page is Unicode UTF8 though some of your other pages are Western ISO 8859.
It has been known for folk to unknowingly alter their default.

BTW - I am seeing text overlap on the 2 main pictures on the index page at widths above 1360px.

Since posting the question I have looked at it in Windows XP IE 8 on an old computer from the closet and I see the Greek text. I am taking the page down until I get it resolved.
Thanks DD, and I know about the wide-screen problem, I’ll be working on it.

and I see the Greek text.
There was an issue with old versions of Chrome not displaying text correctly - is your problem also Browser specific?
I am taking the page down until I get it resolved.
Not sure that I would be too worried about old machines/browsers having issues - certainly not enough to take the page down.
Is it all the text - or just certain sections?

I think your problem is the Font-Family Symbol
.style2 {
color: #012087;
font-family: Symbol;
font-size: 36px;
text-align: center;
margin-bottom: 0.1px;
}

How can I control this? My “old” pages were created in Fwy Pro V5.5 and automatically ended up Western ISO 8859. The new page was created in Fwy Pro V7.0.4 and is Unicode UTF8. Where is the setting for this?

It is recommended that you do NOT use Symbol font in Web Pages - unless you use font embedding techniques as the Character mapping on older Windows machines is not the same.
Page encoding is set under the 3rd Tab in the Page Inspector - but that is NOT your issue.
Get rid of the Symbol font.

You’re probably right: “I think your problem is the Font-Family Symbol”
I am using TheBand template but I changed the text from Righteous to Symbol. (I like Symbol better!)
The problem is with all text on the index page but that’s the only page made with V7 & Symbol text. I will work on it, but thanks for setting me in the right direction.

Final report for today: I changed the text back to Righteous and all is okay.
Thanks again. Take the rest of the day off!

Thanks Richard: After ten years of Fwy 4 to 5.5, I am now trying to do an RWD website using V7. I am using TheBand template as a base and changing it for my needs - probably changing too much. Right now only my index page is online, other pages are from V5.5. The page displays okay at 1024x768 & 1280x1024 but is bad for both larger & smaller sizes. I haven’t spent any time on those sizes but maybe you can point me at what I need to do.
