I've never had any problems with accented characters in UTF-8 on any
gecko browser (firefox for my main linux box, camino for mac) although
I've never tested PC browsers or Safari. Personally, I'd highly
recommend that everyone uses UTF-8, because after working on a project
for internationalization, I've realized that trying to detect and
support even a few charsets is a real pain in the you-know-where. iconv
works really well at reencoding data, so maybe give it a shot.

Not at all.... but to be fair, I think Zoltan refers to font-
changes,
i.e. it displays and decodes the utf-8 alright, but it draws
'weird' characters from a (style-wise) visually different font. I
don't see this in Safari. Don't know about the PC browsers.
