Others may know better, but I've been told that this is not really a Netscape
or a *n*x problem, but a (wait for it...) MicroSoft problem.
Apparently, if you use a MicroSoft application to generate text, it has this
"smart quotes" feature which will replace a pair of ' characters, for example,
with ` at the beginning and ' at the end. Regrettably for the rest of us,
M$ chose to do that by substituting non-ASCII characters in their places.
Embrace and extend.
Or something like that.
The umlaut problem may be something different; I am able to view umlauts and
other non-English characters in both terminal-based apps and in Netscape, most
of the time at least, so not sure what your trouble may be in that regard.
