Smugmug character map problem?

I noticed that umlaute are displayed incorrectly. For example ü is displayed as ü.

After some internet searches and testing I foud that changing the following line in the HTML source fixes this problem.

Original:
[LEFT]< meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />[/LEFT]
New:
[LEFT]< meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />[/LEFT]

Seems to me that the database is using a different character map than what is defined in the HTML. Could someone at Smugmug look into this? Thanks!

BTW This issue has been reported in an earlier thread.

    I probably should have mentioned this right away. I'm talking about when the file name is used as the description. Otherwise these character seem to be displaying fine.
