... is only a paper moon.

<meta http-equiv> is *always* a fake - for content-type,
for content-language, for everything.

Especially you cannot set the content-type with such a fake:
http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/meta-http-equiv.1
http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/meta-http-equiv.2

You need to specify the real HTTP header. For the charset, read
http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset
