    Hi,
    They look pretty similar to me. 🙂

    They both use this for fonts.

    body {
  color: #7A7A7A;
  font: 14px/1.5 Georgia,Times,Serif;
}

    They also both use UTF-8 characters. Those were my first suspects.

    I did a quick code compare between the HTML of the two pages, and LOTS of little differences there, plenty of different classes and styles in the code, lots of funky Javascript stuff, etc. So that could be some of it.

    Because of that, I would have to assume that the 2 versions of the theme differ. Too many differences to pinpoint one thing.

    WordPress.com has this bit of code for instance, note the “lang”.
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="de">
    But would this cause those characters to be missing? I sort of doubt it.

    I would guess that you did an export and import, and maybe those took away some characters. OR your new database is actually set with a different character set.

    So I would have to assume that the hosting servers are different, too, no two are exactly the same.

    I was actually impressed with how many German characters did work fine.

    Lots of things to check, nothing conclusive.

    Good luck,
    Mach’s gut,

    @dave
    it is just in the headlines, that the characters are missing. and they are not only missing at imported files but also if i do a new page/post. so that can t be the problem. the font of the post itself are the same!

    i just want to change the heading font into georgia, that is ist but either i had the wrong piece of code or overwriting is by custom.css doesn t work here….

    Ach! El tema no es muy bueno, ?verdad? 🙂

    That’s a MUCH easier answer… your new site has Cufon for headings. AND… I believe this is a plugin, not normal CSS. Whatever the case, I have seen other people have a similar problem with Cufon – it is just SO hubsch, but I know that it doesn’t have much language support. The people that were asking about it were working with Spanish, and I would be surprised if Deutsch didn’t have similar problems.

    The old site simply uses these fonts for headings:

    h1, h2, h3 {
  font-family: Rockwell,Georgia,Palatino Linotype,Palatino,"Times New Roman",Times,serif;
}

    Ciao, Dave

    but when I put this in the custom.css it doesn t override the cufon.
    so i don t know what to do about it.

    I see … you’re already on it. 🙂

    Now I see your head section, and indeed, the Bueno theme itself is doing the Cufon thing, and not a separate plugin.

    I’m using Firebug, and I can see a custom.css file in your system, but I don’t see any CSS for headings, just a background color for the the whole site and a couple other classes.

    So I think the other styles are not making it, something’s not connecting for whatever reason. Try sticking that special heading CSS right in default.css, maybe. 🙂
