Freemarker text encoding error

I¹m having trouble displaying Danish text in my forms using the struts tags
and I think it related to an error with how freemarker gets the locale. I¹m
getting a lot of question marks in the text, but if I set the server local
to Danish, all works as expected. Obviously that¹s not a solution as the
other languages also have problems.

For example the s:select tag is incorrectly displaying some Danish text. But
if I go in and edit the freemarker template file and change the label
display from ${} notation to one using <@s.property /> tag it works as
expected.

Here¹s the details 

<@s.property value="%{parameters.label}"/> prints the correct text:

Hvornår (ca.) begyndte de nuværende rygsmerter eller bensmerter (iskias)?

But ${parameters.label?html} prints texts with Œ?¹ substituted for
unsupported characters :

Hvorn?r (ca.) begyndte de nuv?rende rygsmerter eller bensmerter (iskias)?

I tried adding the <#setting locale="da_DK"> setting to the top of the
control header template with no
joy.

I can see one solution is to change all the freemarker template files and
replace ${} with <@s.property/>.

But I¹m sure there has to be a simpler solution.

I¹ve already posted to the struts list and I¹m not getting a lot of love
there, so I was hoping somebody here would recognise what I¹ve done wrong
and point me in the right direction.
