I downloaded the new script and re-run autogen.sh. It change nothing on the
screen. See for yourself (click Choose a library to search)
http://cobaye-ti.bib.uqam.ca/opac/en-US/skin/default/xml/index.xml
You will see strange characters (???). In your browser, if you change the
encoding ( UTF-8 to ISO8859-1) no more strange characters. That's why Pierre
R. was saying it was encoded in ISO-8859-1, even if the Apache server is set
to UTF-8 defaults.
I verified in the javascipt files use for the OPAC and when I open (with
nano) OrgTree.js, the strange characters are there, here's a screen capture
http://www.bibliotheques.uqam.ca/flash_bugs/strange_characters.png. It seems
that the even the js files are not generated with the UTF-8 encoding... (or
maybe it's nano that can't show them).

Any ideas ?

I just put the index.xml page (of the OPAC) in the W3C (X)HTML validator (
http://validator.w3.org/) and it gives me lots of errors... starting with
"No Doctype found". This is an XML file, the MIME type doesn't match
(text/xml instead of text/html). Maybe some of the problems with characters
encoding comes from these missings ?
