Martin,
Well, I think I was led down that path when the page was originally
UTF-8 encoded.
Along the way I came under the impression that IE would not display the
text properly when the page was labeled UTF-8, probably due to a problem
with its support for plane 1.
I found it handy to assign the Code 2001 font to user-defined, so that
it wasn't used for my other web pages pages by my browsers. I think this
was also before I started using CSS in the page and assigned the font to
the table cell.
I can play with changing it, if you feel its important.
