Have you tried changing the encoding the browser thinks the page is in?
if the html page doesn't specify what encoding it's using, the browser
has to guess. There's usually a menu option for switching: e.g. in
mozilla it's under View > Character Coding. Once you find that menu,
it's just a question of trying various latin encodings until you find
one that works. I belive Romanian is encoded in ISO-8859-2 (or latin2),
but the web page could use something odd (or it could even do the Right
Thing and use unicode). Also, of course you'll need to have a font
installed for the appropriate encoding that has the romanian charaters
in it
