Thanks, everyone, for the additional insight. @LuKreme: I tried every Firefox encoding possibility that had to do with Cyrillic and even Eastern European. Still garbled, sometimes in different ways.
@Robert A. Rosenberg: For those interested, I've posted a copy of the page here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2321985/index.html. It's just the bare html, edited to remove the parts not germane to the discussion; also no stylesheets, but the header is intact. In the end, I gather that the garbled text was pulled from mp3 id3 tags, which is no doubt the source of the problem. As far as the html and server is concerned, perhaps they are doing the 'right thing' with what they are given. I would still like to know if it is even possible to do transliteration chores like this within BBEdit thru a text factory or similiar, as well as any wisdom as to how to go about it. I found an AppleScript that actually fixes these broken id3 tags from within iTunes, so I am going to take it apart an see if I can get that to work somehow in BBEdit. On Mar 11, 10:29 pm, "Robert A.
