---- GWT Showing Instant Previews

Do you have any characters outside of the ASCII set (decimal 32-127)? Eg: umlauts, acutes, graves etc.

Were you asking me or brandmaker? All my pages are utf-8 encoded with the real characters. No entities except   and —. Web Preview simply doesn't display them, either in GWT or the "real" version.

:: time out to investigate ::

OK, got it. The overall page image-- the part that shows your text in teeny sans-serif type-- won't display non-ASCII characters in HTML. (They will if it's a pdf.) But the snippet-- the close-up text within the preview-- shows everything. So does the little orange box showing where the snippet was taken from.
