New submission from Basil Peace:
HTML pages inside CHM documentation use the following tag to set applied
character set:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso8859_1" />
`iso8859_1` is neither valid character set according to IANA registry nor is
recognized by most browsers (I've checked IE, Firefox and Opera).
This isn't notable for text in English. But, in `Python Standard Library` in
section `4.7.1 String Methods` there is a documentation for str.casefold().
This paragraph contains German letter `ß`.
Without defined character set this letter can be displayed wrongly, depending
on user's regional settings. In my Russian I see in CHM `Я`. Firefox displays
it as `�`.
Fix of charset to `ISO-8859-1` could resolve the problem.
P.S. Use of UTF-8 may be more convenient for preventing future errors.
