Dear info2www maintainers,

info2www outputs HTML 4 and does not specify "charset". Thus, Firefox
represents as default iso-8859-1 when it actually is UTF-8 encoded.
In Firefox, one has to manually choose
  [Display -> Text encoding -> unicode]
for all the text to display properly.

Probably not the correct way to fix it but : my workaround as
attached patch.

Best regards,

I came across this bug as well, but my fix is slightly different:


166c166
< print "Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\n\n"; # Mime header
for NCSA httpd
