Probably a charset problem

Hi there,
I've got a problem cuttin'n'pasting some contents for Word or Acrobat to XMLTextFields.
The text I need to insert in ezp is both in English and Italian, so I got problems with italian chars like àèòìù but also with fancy quotes and double quotes often used by Word.

What I get is something like ’ instead of " ' " (single quote), “ in place of opening double quotes and ” in place of closing double quotes.

Looking at the html code produced by ezp, I can see that & is translated in & .
While this is correct for & char alone, it breaks completely the page if the substitution is done in the other cases.

Playing around in the db, I can see that the raw data already contains ’ etc etc.

I've tried reading everything in the forum about this problem and the latest messages are quite old (Sep/Oct 2003), so I really think that this is my fault.

I tried to modify the charset settings in site.ini, templates.ini, i18n.ini etc etc with no result.

I even tried to modify charset settings in one html file saved on my HD, but, again, no result.

Any help would be appreciated (I've got a huge quantity of data to load on ez, and I don't want to spend lot of time doing search and replace in a text editor before pasting the text in the admin interface).

Thanx a lot,
Roberto
