At the bottom of your application.cfm add this line:

<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">


That will fix the wacky MS WORD issues.  I am assuming they cut and pasted
from a word doc..  This caused us problems.

Subject: Special character stops cfmx from rendering page

My integration and stage environment are running cfmx 6.0, apache 2.0.52 and
linux (Linux 2.4.18-14smp #1 SMP Wed Sep 4 12:34:47 EDT 2002 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux). When I try to run a page with any special characters cfmx stops
and displays nothing to the screen. 

Here lies my confusion and why we never caught this, my prod environment,
running cfmx 6.0, apache2.0.52 and a slightly different linux (Linux
2.4.7-10smp #1 SMP Thu Sep 6 17:09:31 EDT 2001 i686 unknown), will serve the
page correctly, special characters and everything!

Here is a snippet of the code that fails, 

Before the special char � after the char

and the Java file encoding we are using is iso8859-1.

The cfmx instalation is almost the same except for the datasources, I
grabbed the prod cfmx and copied it to my stage machine and changed the
datasource.

This has become quite a pain, and its been over two weeks of trying things,
some insight would be much appreciatted...
