It solves the problem.. and new browsers (ie/nn 4.0, lynx as well) also can do charsets conversion by itself. Of course, another solution might be Unicode, but Netscape/X11 crashes almost every time on cyrillic UTF8 page (I suspect it misses real unicode X11 fonts, so it have to use some strange looking "internal unicode font") :( </offtopic> V.
