 * thank you a lot, found the workaround for it, quoting busdriver:
 * In the file functions-formatting.php I simply commented the line below out. It
   all looks right now so off to finish setting it up now 🙂
 * // $curl = preg_replace(‘/(d+)x(d+)/’, “$1×$2”, $curl);
 * I hope this helps other people with this problem too!.

 * well, it’s not me, it’s WP that replaces the character in the domain name, but
   apparently only in the css stylesheet and some other parts, for example, rss 
   links, forms…
 * example:
 * <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”[http://test.0&#38](http://test.0&#38); #215;45.
   com/wp-content/themes/default/style.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />
    <
   link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”Anywhere but here… RSS
   Feed” href=”[http://test.0&#38](http://test.0&#38); #215;45.com/?feed=rss2″ /
   > <link rel=”pingback” href=”[http://test.0&#38](http://test.0&#38); #215;45.
   com/xmlrpc.php” />
 * i even tried a new installation, without using my old database for testing purposes,
   and it does it anyways.
 * the character encoding is utf-8, same as my old 1.5 installation which worked
   just fine.
 * i’m starting to believe it’s some sort of security mechanism, as “0x” could be
   interpeted as the begining of a hex number… does it make any sense?.
