That sounds plausable.

I have been hesitant to respond to this particular suggestion because I
honestly don't know if it is relevant or not. I know from personal experience
that the only time a larger image takes significantly longer to render than
a smaller image does is when advanced features in Pov are used creating a need
to trace a greater number of rays. A simple sphere, one light source, and a
camera can be rendered at high resolutions in surprisingly short amounts of
time. I personally stick with the theory that load needs to balanced by means
of content and not size.
It should not be a surprising that on my p200 machine the skyvase file is
still an adequate challenge and takes a few minuets to render. It may only
take a few seconds on a Cray computer but wouldn't that be expected because
of it's significantly greater computing power ?

To help out, Latin-1 is ISO-8859-1.
If you were only involved in the esoteric field of i18n then you'd know that :-)
Oh, and byt the way, Windows uses their own CP-1252, not Latin-1/8859-1. Almost the
same, but just different enough to cause headaches.

Yes, it is Japanese, but not the most common encodings. It is not EUC-JP nor
Shift-JIS. It is "JIS" or ISO-2022-JP. But additionally it has a lot of
Katakana/Hiragana and not so much Kanji. This can also make it look different.
Just use Netscape on RedHat Linux 6.0 and you'd see it all by selecting
"Japanese (Auto-Detect)". For those of you on Windows, you have to first have
Unicode or Japanese font installed and then change the Netscape preferences to
use that font for Japanese.
Now, if you love a good mystery, here is how to solve this one. First, get a
Japanese font setup and working. You can test it out by hitting my favorite
test site: http://www.sanrio.co.jp/ (I'm pretty sure they'll be around for a
while)
Next, go to the mysery site. Now that you are there, by the URL you guess it's
Japanese. First try viewing using "Japanese (EUC-JP)". Nope. No dice. Now try
"Japanese (Shift-JIS). Nope. Not a Japanese MS Windows kinda site :-). Now try
"Japanese (Auto-Detect). Bingo! So it's Japanese, but not one of those two
encodings. That leaves "JIS"/ISO-2022-JP.

Now, if you were only running Netscape on Linux, all would have worked great.

Unless you happen to be running Red Hat Linux and you go to a web page
heavy in Java. The everything goes KABLOOY!!! (There are work-arounds,
but Netscape unter Linux is Quite buggy. For more info see
www.searchlinux.com)

Ken;
The site you refer to, namely
>http://web.kyoto-inet.or.jp/people/tantaka/modeler.html
is in fact in Japanese. The encoding is ISO-2022-JP, and should appear
similar to the attached graphic if your web browser is configured correctly.

Yah, disabling Java is a good idea. What I was refering to were Java
applettes, which seem to cause the Linux port of Netscape to do some
funny things, depending on system set up. There is an whole newsgroup at
searchlinux.com devoted to this problem.
