Font stopped working :(

Hi all,

I am working on a website and i made a disclaimer page and suddenly the characters ü ä ö have stopped working... this has confused me to no end if i write them as html entities they work but what i want to know is why does it work on my index.html and suddenly not on another page with the same html and same css..

Can you post a link? This shouldn't be happening as you explained it so there is probably something else going on.

anyone?

I'm taking a look at it now

You posted your index.html file and main.css but the page that's having the problem is another page? If so could you post the code to that page too?

ok thank you :)

yes your right its another page but if i paste exactly the same code it won't display the umlauts. i just realised that every new page i have made since i switched to komodo edit does this.. could it be saving it in a weird way?

Ok i just figured it out that it was saving it in another unicode setting... Thank you so much for you time though! i appreciate it :)

I was thinking that would be the issue since you mentioned you're copying and pasting the code.
