Making Russian Websites

I use Macromedia Dremweaver for Web Design, and wanted to make part of a website in Russian using Russian characters (of course :wink: ) however it did not come out right- just as question marks. Has anybody else tried this? Are there any similar programs that are more Russian Friendly? Thanks!

It has nothing to do with a program you use for a web page design. Just add charset=windows-1251 ( or the whole line below if your page doesn't have the meta "Content-Type" tag at all ) into header section of your page.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1251">

I use to have exactly the same problem a few years ago. I believe you have to have a russian Windows to use it properly. Correct me if I wrong, because I still want to use it.

Macromedia flash does support Cyrillic fonts. I have used it before. And no need in Russian windows (I have used English versions all my life and where is no problems with fonts :) ). Where is configuration box somewhere in Macromedia options...if you interested I can check my home PC and will answer more accurate where it is.
