Full Version: strange characters in text
I was hoping someone might be able to tell me why "André" changes to "André" when the entry moves off of the main page.
Maggie, accents like André's are defined by the use of the Character encoding set. You might be fine if you just select the correct language in your user profile setting in the main MT window. Or you can do a search for PublishCharset in your mt.cfg file and change the default to #PublishCharset ISO-8859-1 ( just copy paste this into the correct spot in mt.cfg and delete the #)

Hi ton007
CODE
PublishCharset iso-8859-1
is already what I have in mt.cfg
Try
CODE
PublishCharset utf-8
and don't forget to rebuild...
