Well, they may have reverted it in the meantime, but the fvwm.org
server isn't terribly new.  I'm budgeting $20K for new servers this
fiscal year so hopefully I'll be migrating things over in the next
couple of months.

Anyway, thanks for the correct description of the problem (not
overriding the default encoding but overriding the page-specified
encoding) and the pointer to the configuration bits.  I put
AddDefaultCharset off in the fvwm.org virtualhost stanza and it
seems to have solved the problem.

SS Hi Jason, Is it possible to configure the www.fvwm.org web server

I don't understand; why do you think it's overriding the default
encoding?  The default encoding is UTF-8, and that's what the pages
are being served as.

SS We're getting funny symbols on some of our pages. Eg.

Not legal UTF-8, perhaps?  If I force the encoding to ISO-8859-1 then
the pages look better, but honestly it's no longer the 1990s.

A quick pass through iconv would fix things up, I think.
