When displaying text files with a special extension and containing accented or foreign script characters in the browser, the files are not displayed properly — unless they have the BOM indicator at the beginning of the file (3 invisible bytes which will tell the browser to interpret the text correctly).
Add these directives at one of these places:
AddCharset UTF-8 .ly # Add MIME type for LilyPond files AddType text/x-lilypond .ly
.htacess file at the root of the website.
The site for this page has been corrected as mentioned above and Unicode non Ascii characters are diplays properly for the ly files
On this page, an explanation about Apache MIME types
If you want Apache to recognize a new file extension and associate it
with a specific MIME type, use AddType. This is the
standard, non-overriding method.
| Goal | AddType Example |
Notes |
Serve .less files as CSS |
AddType text/css .less |
Apache will now treat all files ending in .less as
CSS. This is generally preferred over ForceType. |
