Fonts used in local development vs production instances of confluence

[Alex Yasurek]

HI,

I have a custom theme that has some japanese characters in it for certain UI elements. When I am working on my localhost development instance, all the japanese characters get displayed correctly and look fine. As soon as I package it and uploaded it to my production instance of confluence, I get text like so: �?��?��??

Does anyone know why the japanese text gets displayed correctly on my local development instance and not production? I assumed it is a font issue and that production instance does not have a font that can handle japanese text but why does my localhost instance display it perfectly?

Hi Alex,

I was wondering if you have the right collation in the database, it might affect your display, as you could have a collation "latin1" to it. Can you please have a look on it?
Cheers.

HI,

The collation is set to UTF-8.
