French and Portuguese accents lost in live browsers:

Although perfectly appearing in the Dw’s real-time preview São Paulo and Révision become messed up when out in live Chrome and Firefox on the net. Serif or Sans-serif? Or another trick?

    What charset are you using? It will be at the top of your code, you should see something like this for your first few lines in Code View...

    <!doctype html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">

     

    The meta charset line should be set to utf-8 as above. If it's not, change it and your accents should reappear online.

    If it still doesn't work, share a link to your page here and we can take a look at what else might be causing the issue for you.

    "utf-8"  for sure.

    Grateful if you can track it:

    font-family: Gotham, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

    and in a different place

    font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;

    Both give the same mess. I though Crome was the problem, but same goes for Firefox.
