Hi tiagosilva, In addition to David's tips, be sure that your html file (the page that is displaying the Timeline) is set to utf-8
1) No quirks browser setting: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";> See: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/3/cssgrids/ 2) Set utf-8 content type: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" /> Note: the above should always be included in your html file. In addition, the content type should also be set in your http reply headers if you have access to your web server's settings. See: http://www.w3.org/International/O-charset I have updated the wiki page http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Timeline_GettingStarted Regards, Larry ________________________________ From: David Huynh <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, December 27, 2008 7:23:53 PM Subject: Re: Timeline - Character Encoding Some text editors (such as Notepad++ and SciTE on Windows) allow you to specify the encoding of your files. Please choose UTF-8 encoding. Also include this declaration at the beginning of your XML file <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Try to load your XML file directly into your browser and see how those characters appear. If they look fine, then I think they should look fine in the timeline.
