Kris After getting my head around Tiles, I have managed to sort out both original problems (charset/font problem and url behind firewall problem) by using <tiles:insert instead of the templates.
I initially did a one for one replacement of the template tags with tiles tags. Also I replaced the bean :include with a tiles:insert. This worked well. I conclude that the <bean:include has problems with templates. Thank you for suggesting that I move to Tiles. Fred. Note: forwarded message attached. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

--- Begin Message ---Kris I am not using any <logic:forward> tags anywhere. The only logic tags I use are <logic:messagesPresent>. As for the side note: I was thinking of moving to Tiles very soon but I did not want confuse myself further by introducing additional changes. I.e. I have not used Tiles before. (I am currently reading Chap 11 (Developing with Tiles) of Ted Husted's book. In section 11.1.1 he mentions "A dynamic include folds the output of the included page into the original page." he is talking about <jsp:include in the introduction to Tiles before talking about Tiles properly.) Do you think the problem is due to the fact the I am using templates?
