WebFOCUS Reporting Server Configuration. The server must be configured for an ANSI code page, such as 1252 for Western European languages.
WebFOCUS Client Configuration. The WebFOCUS Client must be configured for an ANSI code page to display report output correctly during a browser session.

WebFOCUS Reporting Server and WebFOCUS Client Configuration. The server must be configured for the appropriate code page for the target language, such as Chinese or Japanese.
