Can any one guess why this is?....

I see, Ok sorry.

I am using ver 1.3.9h, It's a new install with an added template 'Forest Path'. I have add-ons installed such as Big Royal mail and the Parcel Force/Courier one. Everything was working until I used the OSCommerce import add on for importing customers & orders from the old OSCommerce site.

I've checked the other currencies and they display ok and I've even taken the system back to using the standard original template and evrything displays ok. The problem appears to be only that when displayed in the Forest Path template which was working perfectly well last night.

This is the key....

That and possible OSC import are suspect...

Is this multi-lingual or just multi currency

A link might assist

Add ONE space to it to break link as in

You need to post in the support thread for this template and ask the author what other reasons they used/defined the character set as utf-8

If there are not other things that will break in the template then

Download your includes/languages/forest_path/english.php file

Find these 2 entries
Preserve an original copy

  @setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.utf8');


// charset for web pages and emails
  define('CHARSET', 'utf-8');

Change to & save

  @setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.ISO_8859-1');

// charset for web pages and emails
  define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1');

Problem solved with that last set of Char instructions. Thanks very much for all of your help.
