This sounds like you might want to check if the following would help in the "<head>" section of your HTML pages: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> On the font issue, you can control this best for HTML in a CSS stylesheet, not in your DocBook sources. DocBook is concerned only with structure and meaning, not formatting. An internal stylesheet can be generated on each HTML Page in your conversion from DocBook to HTML, but I personally prefer to maintain separate external CSS stylesheets to drive a documentation web.
