Wrong character set

Wrong character set

http://lwn.net/ claims to be in iso-8859-1:

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

yet this quotation uses characters that don't exist in that character set (0x92, 0x93, 0x94), apparently from the Windows-1252 charset.

Please try to make content in the correct character set. The `tidy' program can change the encoding of some HTML (see the ‘-win1252’ option).

You may find it useful to change lwn's charset (in the header) from iso-8859-1 to utf-8 or windows-1252.
