fixing all the not-properly-displaying characters that have suddenly appeared in the appdb
Since the change to the new design, AppDB entries have been displaying either a ? (Firefox, Konqueror, Opera) or a blank rectangle (IE in Windows) in place of a variety of special characters, including anything with an umlaut (bug 16514). I've played around with it a bit, and the entries can be fixed by manually editing them, but before I undertake the task, I figured I'd better ask if this is something that could be fixed more easily (e.g., changing a setting on the server).

Could you provide a link to a page where this problem is shown?

It would appear that the new template says: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">, but those pages actually contain text encoded in ISO-8859-1. Possibly some kind of bulk conversion would be in order?
