- Default character encoding for new documents is UTF-8
- "Save" stores characters in UTF-8 but content tag is
<meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="content-type">


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Set default encoding to UTF-8
1. New composer page
2. Enter a text with international characters (I use TöstTäst)
3. Press "Save" to save the file
4. Press "Browse" to view the results
Actual Results:  
International characters are garbled (TöstTäst)

Expected Results:  
TöstTäst
