This first came up in Thunderbird.  All my Icelandic emails stopped displaying
correctly.  Þ displays like fi, for example.  Old saved emails that looked fine
a few days ago started looking like this, so it's not a problem with the
specific email.  When I checked in the Mozilla browser, I had the same problem
there as well.  (Everything is fine in Safari.)  In the web page above, I see
things like doubled crosses and what looks like > instead of the appropriate
Icelandic characters (Look at the jpg of the band's name, or in the title bar,
you should see it written like that in the page, but on my Mozilla browser it
appears like D(doubled cross instead of accented y)r(> instead of eth)in.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. (I am not sure how this problem was created, it just happened and now it
happens consistently.)
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
The software should continue to display Icelandic characters (assuming the
page/email encoding is correct) as it did a few days ago.

Firefox bug 333940 might be the same problem, could the Mac OS X language settings have been changed?

Rebecca, do you agree this is a dupe of bug 333940? and do you still see the problem?
