As long as I know charset directive directs browser in which charset data must be displyed. This is my layout section which tells that my data is in windows-1250 character set. <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1250"> etc..... But browsers (IE, Opera or FF) are ignoring this directive and always default to UTF-8. I guess it is not browsers problem, since if I visit other sites with different encodings, settings are reflected in View/Encoding menu. Pages are served from linux box (Ubuntu) through ODBC to MS-SQL server and using UTF-8 is out of the question.
