UTF-8 / iso-8859-1

I've just made a swedish language pack for Plesk 8.0. It works allright, but the localized characters (åäö) are not showing up correctly (in menus, desktop etc). This is (I think) because the plesk server is outputting UTF-8, and the characters are iso-8859-1.

I tried changing å to å etc, but plesk doesn't render it (it just shows "å" instead of "å"). The weird thing is it displays åäö correctly in the menus, but not in the desktop texts.

I edited the httpd-config to use iso-8859-1 as default charset, didn't do any good. I'm assuming a <meta> charset or php header or something is hardcoded into plesk.

Is there a solution for this? I've googled and checked manuals, to no avail.

I guess the solution is either:

1. Changing default character set from UTF-8 to iso-8859-1
or
2. Getting plesk to render &umlauts; correctly.

But how? :D
