Problem with displaying Verdana font on UTF-8 encoded sites
Recently found an interesting bug in Internet Explorer in some version of Windows. Rather, Windows is more to blame than IE.
If you use the UTF-8 encoding on the site (the possibility of this glitch may emerge in some other encodings), then IE does not display it, and finds the replacement nearest to it - for example, Arial.
Searching the Internet for a solution to this problem was convinced that the problem is common, but on Habré it seems like no one wrote about it.
')
So, the solution was found:
Step # 1 - In the registry along the path [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ FontSubstitutes], all keys must be removed;
Step 2 - create a file with the .reg extension and with the following content:
It was checked on freshly reinstalled Windows XP SP2 and SP3, practically without software.
