Outputting as text doesn't help.
My guess is that it's a problem in the engine, where it reads in text from the table file as ISO-8859-1/Windows-1252 and so reads (eg) a utf-8 close single quote as ?€? This is then propagated to the output window and the temp htmp file.

Hey, Erol -
There's no encoding setting for HTML in TableSmith (never really came up as in issue in the past). I did recall looking at allowing some sort of custom header as an advanced feature, but I just looked through the code and didn't see anything for that, so either it was never implemented or it didn't make it over in the transition from version 4 to 5.
I don't know that your workaround is the only option, but a config setting isn't available. You could maybe try outputting to Text rather than HTML, though I don't know that would make a difference.

My table files are all utf-8 (no BOM), and some of them have curly
quotes. These quotes show fine in Notepad++, but the Tablesmith results
window gives garbage characters associated with a wrong code page.
The right-click menu / encoding submenu shows "Western European
(Windows)" followed by "Unicode UTF 8)" with the Unicode menu entry
dotted.
Is there a configuration setting for "utf8 and only utf8" in Tablesmith,
or is the only work-around to replace the curly quotes in the table
files with straight quotes?
