I use IBM Lotus Symphony as my default word processor. When I download materials as .txt, all apostrophes, quotation marks and hyphens are shown as gibberish> How do I get them to download and display normally?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

I want to ask for more information. Do these files look ok in Firefox/Lotus/and another word processor? Where do you download them from and to? If you have a problem with display of fonts in Firefox, you can try to change font setting in Tools menu, Options window, Content panel, fonts section.

Make sure that you select the correct text encoding (mime type) in Lotus. The files are probably saved as Unicode, but you can check that in Tools > Page Info > General or View > Character Encoding before saving the page.
