Pipe symbol (|) changing to %7C in kompozer

Hello warriors,

I wanted to install google fonts on my website using kompozer, but each time I paste the codes google provides me (which includes the the pipe symbol "|") in the source, it immediately changes to %7C upon checking again. I don't know how to go about this.

I'll be very happy if someone helps me on this

    when you have done working in kompozer just run a search and replace with pspad or something to replace %7c with |

    WHY do THAT? HTML code for an ascii character is % followed by the 2 char hex of the ascii code. Pipe("|") is a SPECIAL character that some sites won't accept. So HOW do you represent it? %7C. 7C IS the code for "|". Kompozer is trying to HELP, as it is supposed to.

      Thanks Steve,

      Of course, I know Kompozer is trying to help, but the thing is I won't be able to use google fonts if the pipe character is converted to %7C. The codes google provided me has a pipe character. And after uploading my site, I realised that it hasn't been fetching the fonts, I was when checking the source that I realised there was a change in character (the pipe symbol).

      But if you can provide me with alternate solution, I'll be grateful.

      Thanks

        SITE? Fetching fonts? The CLIENT is supposed to fetch fonts. Are you converting the pages to graphics?
