i've run into an issue recently, we recently deployed Red Hat 9.0 server on which we put some of our clients from Eastern Europe, however all the html they put on the server encoded in iso-8859-2 [eastern europe encoding] browsers pull up as iso-8859-1 - western european encoding, needless to say all those pages come up as gibberish,

does anyone know what may be causing the browser to not recognize encoding correctly? I am pretty sure its a server side fault.

example here: http://quickrocket.net/onet.htm [site encoded in iso 8859-2 yet browsers see it as iso 8859-1..]

its more likely 2b an apache configuration issue.
search if such a line exists in ur httpd.conf

AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1

if it does, comment it out. restart apache and then see if it works.
