[Seaside] Special chars (euro-sign) and umlauts in Seaside

[Humber Aquino]

Hi Adrian!

Try running WAKomEncoded startOn: 8080 if you're using a 3.8 image.
With a 3.9 image use WAKomEncoded39 startOn: 8080.

That will display even japanese characters(if you have the fonts installed).

I don't know if this was what you are looking for but i hope it helps :D
