Funny don't see ANY funny looking signs or anything

Re: font/text changing ???!!!

I believe that is because the swedish text you see on the main page is a picture, not text as such:

Thanx for the reply.
You were looking at the wrong site.
If you look at the info page at http://www.garryleetaylor.co.nr/ ( you will see the button )
On that page at the bottom left ( above the home button ) you will see the kind of thing I mean.

I pasted in the original text of...
"Garry Lee Taylor har uppträtt över hela världen, från Nashville och Memphis
i USA till England, Luxemburg och Holland för att bara nämna några länder.
Genom åren har Garry uppträtt för ett antal miljoner människor världen över."

but waht you see on the page is full with weird symbols etc..and it des this evertime I paste text into this homepage ?

thanx for any help

Re: font/text changing ???!!!

It's looking like the encoding is getting mixed up. You might want to look into the content meta tag and set the correct charset. Other than that there's probably sites that will help you to replace characters with html entities that are a lot safer to use in code.

Hope this helps
