Thanks for the link. Not sure if I've got the concept right, but at
least I know that timers do not run in another thread :)

My latin text is coming direct from the class implementing EntryPoint.
(lblNew.setText("ÜÖ");).
I made sure its encoding is set to ISO-8859-1. Metas in HTML are also
set as <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">. Should something else be missing (HTTP headers,
maybe?).

cheers,
denis
