Any character you write is saved as a hexadecimal number 00-FF that that
character represents in the font you are using in your editor. As far as
I know, there is no way to specify in HTML what character set standard you
are using in order to have users' browsers select the appropriate font. What
will show is the characters corresponding to each number from the
character set the browser is using, regardless of what you intended them to
be.
Win1252 and koi8 are two examples of extremely differing fonts, both used
on the WWW (1252 is latin & cyrillic, koi8 is just cyrillic). I assume
Latin 1 and 2 differ only on the extended characters. Are both standard on
the WWW? Which Windows TTF's, if any, correspond directly to each of
these sets?
