Page whose titles contain special characters like "ü" (ü in HTML code) are shown as garbage in the window title bar. The same problem occurs with chars like "ä", "ö" ... (still in the window title bar).

Pretty certain this is a duplicate, cc:ing teruko

I don't believe this is a duplicate of bug 2426. Bug 2426 has to do with titles that use encodings not supported by the window manager. For example, a Cyrillic page title can't be displayed in Windows because the OS doesn't know how to display the characters in a title bar. This bug is more generic; it has to do with characters that the OS *can* display in a title bar (for example, 'süß'). So, I'm reopening it and clearing the resolution. (That doesn't mean it isn't a duplicate of another bug, however!)

assigning to danm as p3 for m15

You need to convert UNICODE to platform specific character set. We have code that does this kind of translation in mailnews\base\utils\nsMsgI18N.cpp

Long ago, we did some work to get convert Unicode strings to be passed into native Mac menu widgets. See bug 5402. The code for this might be similar to what we need for native Mac window titles. The fix for bug 5402 is here: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=309
