Have you tried using ä and friends?

oh i see…doesnt work either 🙁 if i open the page, its there for like half a second, then its gone
Doesn’t seem right. You did put in the semicolon at the end of the entity, did you?
Could you please post a link, preferably to an example where you’ve put in the accented character so that we can try to see what’s going on? It’s really hard to help if we can’t see the site.

look at the third homebox with the title “trgerschaft”. it shows “trägerschaft” for like half second, then it delets out the ä
It says “Trägerschaft” in my browsers:
- Firefox 6 (Windows)
- IE8
- IE7
- Opera 10
- Safari 5 (Windows)
- Chrome 13 (Windows)

the theme uses cufon font replacement in its titles;
and these umlaut characters are not within the supplied character set.
you should be able to find instructions in the web; for instance: http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/aou-characters-are-not-shown-with-cufon-fonts
try web search for: ‘umlaut characters cufon’ or similar
the cufon site: http://cufon.shoqolate.com/
ok, i’ll try! thank you!!
@alchymyth: that’s a good catch and an interesting one. I’ll try to remember that one. Thanks.

aaaand once again…im confused. isnt there an other way to do that? im an absolut wordpress beginner and i do not understand it.
there is some code in header.php of boldy, that suggests that you can disable the cufon from within the theme options:
<?php if(get_option('boldy_cufon')!="no"):?>
or alternatively, to get totally rid of cufon, you could delete these lines from header.php:
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/js/cufon-yui.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/js/Museo_Slab_500_400.font.js">
and this section:
<!-- Cufon init -->
<script type="text/javascript">
<?php if(get_option('boldy_cufon')!="no"):?>
Cufon.replace('h1',{hover: true})('h2',{hover: true})('h3')('.reply',{hover:true})('.more-link');
<?php endif ?>
</script>
make backup copies before editing.
you wil lose the font style of the titles; and might need to edit style.css afterwards, and assign some matching fonts to the styles of the titles.
