small dillo webbrowser. When reading the german section I
always get stange characters where letters with diacretica are supposed
to be like 'Für deutschsprachige Anhänger'

Hi Flash, LaRioja et al.
Jasper,

i've looked into the issue ...

Dillo will only display special chars correct if

a) the charset is set to utf-8 as burunduk mentions
b) special chars are escaped properly (what as far as i see/understand does not happen for the message-body in the forum)

so it seems this is more a phpBB issue, than a dillo issue. Other browser just seem to be more fault-tolerant.
