UTF-8 is not compatible with Latin1, because 8bit characters are multibyte encoded. To set up an UTF-8 environment, some more steps are needed. Most importantly, you must set a locale that has .UTF-8 (so install the locales package, generate the fr_FR.UTF-8 locale and use that as your local locale, for example). In general, just try to find the Linux HOWTO on how to set up various applications for a Unicode environment. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
