It works! I converted the accented vowels to html entities. Thankyou  
for the tip.

Thankyou, I will. It's really exciting to see the interface in my  
language.

Oh well, two out of three... ;)

Thankyou for all your help in getting me started. I think I'm  
starting to understand what to do, a bit better now. I am really  
impressed that the version of PmWiki here can display Vietnamese  
accurately: the WackoWiki we use at VNOSS was still choking on one  
character, last time I edited a page there.

I may live long enough to see Unicode fully supported.
