Some articles appear with a different font thats not the one I normally use to view articles. Why?
Such articles almost certainly have a header that specifies a character set other than ISO-8859-1, so MT-NewsWatcher is choosing a different font for display according to your Font preferences. To see what character set MT-NewsWatcher thinks the article is in, look at the Decode As submenu on the Edit menu, or show the article headers, and look for the Content-Type header. It may also be that the article has no Content-Type header with a charset declaration, but MT-NewsWatcher auto-detection code has kicked in, and decided that the article contains Chinese, Japanese or whatever. This sometimes happens with Western articles in which some dumb user has pasted a string of high-ASCII characters. To ‘fix up’ such an article so that it is readable, choose an appropriate character set (like “Western (ISO Latin 1)”) from the Decode As submenu. The article will be re-decoded.
