I think this might be it. Why these chars are utf-8 is beyond me (hell, I'm no programmer - I make my living writing & shooting pictures). Why these pages appear correct when delivered by my shared hosting (these pages are iso-8859-1) but not when served by my local system is baffling to me. Is this to do with Apache settings? I've now changed a page to UTF-8, as in: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"> But my browsers are insisting on viewing as iso-8859-1 unless I manually select utf-8. I have Firefox set to auto-detect->universal and have even set the default to UTF-8 under preferences. I tried with IE from my Windows box - same deal.
