Wierd font issues

I have recently been using my MacBook to post updates to my blog. I have tried Blogo, MacJournal, and have kind of settled on MarsEdit as my preferred tool. I also use Twitterfeed to then push the updates to my Facebook and Twitter feed.

When the feed shows up in Facebook, all of the punctuation marks are replaced with things like &#8230 …(hoping a screenshot shows up here)....

This only happens when I post from the Mac.....
Any thoughts? Thanks!

Are you using the MarsEdit only on the Mac? This is an HTML coding issue. It looks like MarsEdit is sending bad code, but I can't see the source because your example is an image.

A thought: In /System Preferences/Language & Text/ Formats Tab, make sure that United States is selected, and not a Custom setting. That might make a difference.

I do have United States set. I am going to try a test post from Windows Live Writer and see how it fares.

Thanks
