CFMX outputs utf-8 by default, thats where the mismatch is coming from.

You can put this at the top of your Application.cfm file, to change the
output to ISO-8859-1

<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
then you can leave your meta tag alone.

this is of course, if your site uses ISO-8859-1 and not utf-8....
