Thanks for taking the time to help debug this.

Thanks for fixing it so quickly!

This line, intended to force the dtml to be rendered as a unicode object, is not doing its job. If the dtml is not a unicode object then ZPublisher's encoding mechanism is not engaged. Has there been some recent dtml optimisation to ignore empty strings perhaps?

This patch below works for me. Please let me know if this works for you and I will apply it to 2.6. (and various sources of documentation that all recommend including this line.)

Jepp, that seems to work. I'm at home though, so I haven't been able to try with the original browser configuration. 'wget' gives me UTF-8 though, so it should work nicely. :-) Arnar Lundesgaard
