title: Netbeans unicode problems
body: <p>I am switching to Netbeans for php programming (I currently use gedit).</p>
  
  <p>Some characters from the original source code ( à, á, é, è, etc.) are not shown in Netbeans, regardless of the fount used, and a little quotation mark is shown instead. Those files are shown perfectly in both gedit and firefox.</p>
  
  <p>If I modify the file in Netbeans, charaters are shown incorrectly in gedit and firefox. If I add one of the "problematic" characters, these new characters are shown perfectly in netbeans and gedit BUT NOT in firefox (even if html headers are not modified).</p>
  
  <p>I tried adding: </p>
  
  <p><code>-J-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8</code> and <code>-J-Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1</code> to  <code>netbeans_default_options</code></p>
  
  <p>on /etc/netbeans.conf with no result.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
