I have a client with a website written in Russian - the pages all 
view fine when viewed from a cd on my English setup computer - but 
when I place the files on my BQ server the text is all wrong.

I have previously set this in httpd.conf:

Change default character set for apache - FIXES SPECIAL CHARACTER PROBLEM
         pico /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

         FIND:   AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
         CHANGE TO:      AddDefaultCharset iso-8859-1

And the pages contain these meta tags:

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

Everything I have found says this should work.

Any suggestions?

Also the site is maintained using MS FrontPage so I am hesitant to 
play with the .htaccess files.

Thanks,
- Bill
