I have finally solved my problem!! Did the following:
added two lines in the /browse requestHandler <str name="v.properties">velocity.properties</str> <str name="v.contentType">text/html;charset=UTF-8</str> Moved velocity.properties from solr/conf/velocity to solr/conf Not being an expert, I am not 100% sure this is the "best" solution, and where and how it should be documented in the solr/velocity package. I will leave this doc update to afficionados.
