Are these pages viewed by the _same_ browser on the same _computer_ on
the _same_ system with the _same_ encoding as before?
Can you send a diff of the pages of sites with the different OpenCms

Normally this shouldn't cause any problems.
Could you switch the encoding of the site in your browser and change the
character encodings until the site displays correctly?
