Thorsten Scherler resolved FOR-828:
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

I fixed the meta tag in all supported themes to 
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>.

Further I changed the transformation that the formating the final xhtml output 
the way IE really likes it.

> Internet Explorer fails to read the UTF-8 character encoding in the XML 
> statement, defaults to western encoding.

> IE (win, version 6.0 - haven't tried others) misses the character encoding 
> and defaults to western 88 or whatever, messing up some characters. 
> Putting a XHTML namespace declaration in the html tag seems to fix this, but 
> skipping the XML tag and adding a standard HTML metatag encoding would also 
> do the trick. I'm not sure on the relative merits of either approach but 
> suspect neolithic browsers such as NS4.79 aren't going to be impressed by 
> namespaces...Might be better to go for the legacy option.
