You mean it looks funny in Safari without that setting? I am learning a ton about wordpress caching plugins, after last night's HN deluge... Perhaps I can do a tutorial on that next. ;)
Because the page doesn't specify a character encoding (ie with a <meta charset="windows-1252"> tag), the browser defaults to UTF-8, so any non-ascii character shows up as a big fat �.
I was about to ask how you fixed the page encoding but figured it out for safari, just needed to click View > Text Encoding > ISO Latin 1
