The Writer is not controlled by FreeMarker as it just receives the
Writer from outside, so it has no power to configure it. But see
ServletResponse.setCharacterEncoding(). However, if you are using
FreemarkerServlet, then you can set it there, as you can see on
http://freemarker.org/docs/pgui_misc_servlet.html#pgui_misc_servlet_model2
if you are searching for "UTF-8" there.
