Your HTTP server is sending a Content-Type header that's overriding the specification in the page itself. You'll have to either fix that or recode that schwa in ISO-8859-1 or entities. Here are the headers, since I think they look cool: GET /cotc/status.php HTTP/1.1 host: zenith.homelinux.net HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2009 08:03:36 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.40 (Red Hat Linux) Accept-Ranges: bytes X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.2 Pragma: no-cache Cache-control: no-cache Expires: Mon, 29 Jun 2009 01:03:42 -0700 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 --Warrigal "David slowed his pace slightly as his ears, bottled in formaldehyde, caught his eye.
