Check what your browser thinks the encoding is. Check that UTF-8 is declared in the HTTP headers or a meta element (and if they disagree, I'm not entirely sure what goes - research that). http://htmlpurifier.org/docs/enduser-utf8.html has some info. Also ensure the font you're using can handle that glyph. I would guess most fonts can display é. But if everything else looks right, try some standard font like Times and see what happens. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "rails-i18n" group.
