We ran into this, too. Look in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and find the
line that reads:
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
Comment it out and add a line just below it that reads:
AddDefaultCharset iso-8859-1
Then restart or reload Apache. The problem is that the default
configuration sets the default character set for all pages to UTF-8
instead of the 'real' default of iso-8859-1, AKA latin1. There's a nice
little block of comments just above it that explains what it is all about.
Hope that helps!
