First point: CSS can have no effect whatsoever on /what character/ a
browser displays a given html entity as.

Secondly, "&amp;#373;" makes no sense. It seems that "&#373" has been
run through php's htmlspecialchars() function. Search lib.stdheader in
the TS object browser for 'htmlspecialchars = 1' and set it to '0'.
