The document itself is in ISO-8859-1, and it even states so in a meta-tag. However, the server says "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8" (which takes precedence, according to the spec). The end result is that the document looks like crap in most/all browsers (I've tested with Konqueror, Opera and Firefox). Not sure if any other documents are affected. The git manual page at http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git.html (and other git manual pages) works correctly, since it's actually in UTF-8 format, and the HTTP header is therefore correct. Have fun! ...Johan -- Johan Herland, www.herland.net ```
