Seaside declares an encoding of UTF-8 (see WAResponse>>initialize). So if you have text in another encoding, you either need to convert it to UTF-8, or change the content-type header.

My understanding is that this declaration only affects how the browser displays the page? If so, I have already tried changing the encoding used for viewing the page in the browser settings.. I did try changing the content-type header, but it still looks like rubbish..

What if you use #html: instead of #text:?  Like,

html html: aString

This will get rid of any HTML entities - characters like < and & will be displayed untouched - that might be getting in your way.

If that doesn't work, then I'm perplexed - it should be the same bytes showing up in your browser that were in the file to begin with, so *some* encoding should make sense of them.
