Scandinavian characters

Hi!
I've bought a theme called MerchWear.
This theme uses the arial font, and some times uses the transformation to upper case. However, in some blocks the norwegian letters æøå disappears, and I can't seem to figure out why, or where I have to go to fix this.
I've checked typography.css and iGotStyle.css, and I cannot find any reference to any other font face than the arial.
I might be asking in a stupid way, but do any of you have any good tips on where to go to fix this?
http://effektsrg.no - as you can see, in the menu bar the Ø-letter is intact, but in the bottom nav, it has disappeared. As well as an Å-letter in this theme's "showcase-block".
Any tips will be most appreciated.

It sounds like a character set issue. Those might be tough to find and it might even come down to the template files not being saved originally with the correct encoding.
I found out how to go about this,
the theme uses cufon, so it replaces the font with a defined helvetica-font, which has no support for these characters.
In functions.js, I searched for cufon.replace, and took a shortcut by replacing a few lines.
which solved part of the issue.
Not as pretty, and I can't change the
as this screws with the design/layout, and fixing it is beyond my understanding of code :)
Thanks for your replies..!

Cufon.replace(".simpleLogoBlock .logoDescription, #featuredContent2 .line1", { fontFamily: "Helvetica Neue Light Condensed" }); to Cufon.replace(".simpleLogoBlock .logoDescription, #featuredContent2 .line1", { fontFamily: "Verdana" });
which solved part of the issue.

Cufon.replace(".powerSliderContainer .powerSlide .largeText, #featuredContent a span", { fontFamily: "Helvetica Neue Light Condensed", textShadow: "2px 2px rgba(1,3,0,0.3)" });
