I have worked on it until I am down to one warning.
I have read (almost) all suggested pages associated
with this warning. I have made two suggested changes,
but it still have one warning.

I have compared the first few lines with at least
fifty other web pages, and copied what might have
been missing from my web page. This is my web site.

http://dunjas.com/FontTest.html

The warning says I must declare my character set.
I think the <meta... line does that.
You can click here to directly view the warning.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...Inline&group=0

*QUESTION* How do I remove this warning? Can you
suggest something to read which will tell me how
to fix it?

Thanks,
Charles

Declare a character set. It's a meta element (http-equiv, content).

The text of the warning points to "a few tips..." on how to do this. Or just
look at the source that came from the validator.

Well, actually, the *server* should be configured to send an HTTP header
with this information. Failing that, and especially if the server is
configured to send the *wrong* information, the next best approach if
one is using any kind of server-side technology like PHP or ASP(.NET) is
to set the character set programmatically. The meta tag solution is a
last resort (though it's the only resort for an HTML document being
opened locally instead of being requested from a web server).

*QUESTION* Where is the source that came from the validator?

Add this under the Title meta tag:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">

I can't. The text is too small and when I enlarge it enough to read I
have to scroll horizontally. Waaay too much trouble. Was there some
specific point you wanted to make?

Why? Will it help with character sets?

OK.
I have read the thread.
Since I am not firing blanks, and I am not messing with XHTML,
and I am not using &amp; ... may I buy a vowel?

I am using &lt: and &gt;. I suppose I could remove all entities
and see if the validator likes that better. ... I will get back
to you on this one.

I have tried both (one at a time)...
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1">
but the warning remains.
Thanks,
Charles
