The page seems to be encoded correctly.
MSIE sometimes displays UTF-8 encoded material a bit differently from the same material encoded as NCRs. MSIE has no direct font setting for UTF-8 material, but one trick is to set both the "Latin" font and the "User Defined" font to the desired font name. [Tools] - [Internet Options] - [Fonts] Another trick is to "File" "Save As" and then select "User Defined" in the encoding section of the file-save dialog box. This should automatically convert the file into NCRs, and then it's possible to open the newly saved file in the browser and view it as User Defined encoding. Another method is to use Opera 6.x, which also displays the page correctly, as long as the font settings are as desired.
