However, the steps to reproduce are 1. install Ubuntu 12.04 desktop, or Lubuntu 14.04devel desktop (it occurs on both) 2. install Apache2, leaving default configuration settings 3. load an html page from the server in Firefox (in 12.04 or 14.04devel) 4. check page info regarding Encoding with ctrl-i -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to apache2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1258546 Title: Apache2 defaults to the wrong character set, it should be UTF-8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/1258546/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
