Special characters not ok in menu & template

[sacrelolo]

Hello,

I still have problems with special characters such as é, è, à...
I chose the template "css 1 col+news and hacked it.
I changed it from UTF-8 to 8859-1. Now the news are displayed fine but not the characters in the template and in the navigation menu.

Do you have any suggestion. I still look for the solution myself but just in case...

I changed it from UTF-8 to 8859-1

Why change from utf8 to something else?

utf8 has all characters you might ever want to use...

check that your template is utf8 (and check your page source too it should have a line like "") and check that your config.php has utf8...

Hello,

Thanks, it works: I actually checked the presence of default encoding in the templates-->ok.
But there was still a problem left: the news displayed odd characters.
I re-checked in the script that integrated the rss news and there was "utf-8 decode (or something like that). I removed it and it works fine now.

Thanks again for your help
