It seems the "Enable DB charset conversion" setting has fixed it... never even saw that one before ^^;

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the reply.

I'm using Firefox 3.0.5
Not using the WYSIWYG editor, it's disabled.
Even plugins are just the ones that are pre-enabled I believe:
- Markup: Serendipity
- Markup: Emoticate
- Markup: NL2BR
- Browser Compatibility
- Spam Protector

Not sure if it's a bug or simply my stupidity - but when I put Japanese fonts in my page title or posts it doesn't seem to encode them in UTF-8, or anything for that matter, as all I get are question marks. I have set the blog to use UTF-8 under "General Options".

Can anyone give a reason for this ...
