Hi,
I had a problem with my moodle site on which i used fantastico to install moodle script. I had a problem with my Gujarati language pack, My site and cources showed only ???? instead of characters.
I spent 2 to 3 days to find its solutions on net but none of the solution (specially run a script )worked as I have no knowledge of PHP or SQL .

then ,

I remove the moodle installed by fantastico and upload the moodle to my site and then just run the install.php, follow the instructions from installing moodle (http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_Moodle) [ frankly speaking, I did not understand any script but just read the Creating the data directory and Run the installer script to create config.php and run the page on my server ] and BINGObiggrin.gifbiggrin.gif It was done perfectly. Now both moodle interface and my cource content is visible perfectly in Gujarati.

Cheers

Amit Mali

hi
i m not much familiar with coding or mysql. but i faced similar problems with my moodle site and local server.
first do u use unicode type characters for your language pack?
what browser u use?
unicode is supported by Internet Explorer 6 and later editions of IE, and firefox 1.5 and later versions. so if u use older versions of the browsers u need to update them . one more thing unicode is supported by windows xp and vista. but if u r running older version of windows you might need to consult some expert. if u use xp than u have to enable language support. and for firefox u can install language support from its tools--->options ----> content ---> language tabs.
try out some of these hope this informations are helpful to u

Amit
