You should convert the strings from the webpage to Unicode strings. You can see that a string is unicode of print isinstance(s,unicode) prints True. Make sure *every* string you put into the Document actually is a Unicode string. Then it will just work fine. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
