Did any of you have this particular problem ? A webpage showing text in the reverse direction.

In my orkut.com home page, the Today’s Fortune :  and a few recent visitors are displayed in the reverse direction. Mirrored.

So it appears like “this sriaffa lanosrep ruoy ni kcul doog evah syawla lliw uoY :enutrof s’yadoT”

The actual thing is : Today’s fortune: You will always have good luck in your personal affairs

I solved this for the moment, but for a complete solution orkut has to specify the text encoding in their pages. In my orkut home page

Is this your profile ? It has the problem too

How do I fix the reversed text in orkut home page ?

In your browser (Internet Explorer or Firefox ),

Internet Explorer

• • • Click View > Encoding > Western European (Windows)

Mozilla Firefox

• • • Click View > Character Encoding > Western (ISO-8859-1)

It is a problem with the text encoding on orkut.com website. If you find other websites with this problem, do report it here
Here is the trick to link to your profile page in orkut.
