Hello,
I am using Drupal 6.10 to make a website for a French institution. For this website I have to use this theme : http://drupal.itemplater.com/drupal6/

My problem is that this theme do not show French accents, and I don't know how to fix that. I have tried with other themes and it seems only this one has this problem. Any tips please.

Thank you.

The link you provided points to a demo that is using Garland so I think you left out the last part.

Since you (or your client) are probably paying for this theme shouldn't you ask itemplater.com to solve this?
Have you asked them?

And if that is not possible somehow, do you have a link to the site you are developing?

Hi, thank you for your answer.

We actually paid for the template and despite our efforts to get support from them, they don't give any. I only have one week to fix that problem so I hoped to find some help here also.

This is the template I use (you can see the demo) : http://www.itemplater.com/id-lunar.html

I can show you the website I am developing unfortunatelly because it's on the institution local network server.

Just now noticed that they have optional extras listed. I'm guessing that support is optional too ;-)

Just to make sure; when you set the active theme to say, Garland, the accents are showing OK but when you set the active theme to id-lunar the accents are not showing. Right?

AFAIK that would point to a problem with either the html tag e.g.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en" dir="ltr">
or the content-type meta tag
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

Can you compare these lines in the source when using Garland and using id-lunar?

Yes that is right, when I use Garland, accents are showing but not when I use this theme.

I forgot to tell that I'm a total newbie and I'm learning by myself how to use Drupal (with tutorials and Drupal website).

So, this is what I get for both theme :

id-Lunar

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">


Or des Amériques

Garland

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">


Or des Amériques

Got any idea?

Hi Eva,

Anthony here with iTemplater. Our support is really quick. I don't recall ever you have sent us an e-mail. That theme is using flash titles and menus, so I will provide you with a font package that includes the french accents. Please e-mail me at info@itemplater.com

Thanks...

Hi Anthony,

Thank you for your help, the problem is resolved. There must have been a problem, you probably did not get the emails sent by my colleague about that problem. Thanx for the support you provided. The theme works fine now.
