Pogledaj "default charset" podešavanje u httpd.conf fajlu. Mogu se kladiti da je setovano na ISO-8859-1.
Kôd:
#
# Specify a default charset for all pages sent out. This is
# always a good idea and opens the door for future internationalisation
# of your web site, should you ever want it. Specifying it as
# a default does little harm; as the standard dictates that a page
# is in iso-8859-1 (latin1) unless specified otherwise i.e. you
# are merely stating the obvious. There are also some security
# reasons in browsers, related to javascript and URL parsing
# which encourage you to always set a default char set.

Radi se o tome da apache na osnovu ove direktive overriduje charset koji je definisan u meta tagu html dokumenta. Ako ti je recimo u html-u definisan charset na utf-8, a view->character encoding opcija u FF-u prikazuje neki drugi, onda je to siguran znak da imas problem čije sam rešavanje opisao gore.
