Hi, i'm reading from a URL that has cyrillic content, and when i try to display it, it shows lots of questions marks or sometimes other strange letters. how do i make it work correctly ?

Your computer needs the proper language pack installed.

If you open the "Regional Options" under control panel you should see where to select other languages you want installed. You'll probably need your Windows CD to do it, but I'm not positive about that.

I try to keep all possibly languages and encodings installed on my machine so I never to see any "strange" characters.
