Which XSLT processor did you use? In generated HTML there should not be
entity references (except for chars from ISO Latin 1), there should be
only character references in form &#code; where code is Unicode/ISO10646
character code. If your browser supports Unicode (this for example true
for IE and Mozilla on Windows, probably also other browsers/platforms)
there should not be problem with displaying these character glyphs.
