We are migrating our Blackboard environment from BB5.5 to BB6.1 and are
noticing some problems with the correct display of accented letters.
(example: an "e" + accent grave will display as an i or h or question
mark). This happens whether the letter was typed through keystroke
combinations or by typing in the html code for the letter. The problem
is also independent of computer platform (happens equally as well on
PCs as on Macs)

Has anyone else experienced this problem? A quick Google search showed
that Princeton University has also encountered this issue.

We are currently at Blackboard 6.1.5 build 5, Application Pack 1. And
the problems seem to have started after installation of App Pack 1.
Still we are not certain as to the timing.

Thank you,
Jose
