Enough of a problem by itself -- mixing utf8 *and* iso-8859-1. Why do
you think you need both? I'd advise choosing one and sticking to it as
far as possible.
The global character set is set in /etc/sysconfig/i18n: change the LANG
environment variable. It should be
LANG="sv_SE.UTF-8"
for UTF8, and
LANG="sv_SE"
for ISO 8859-1.
Hope this helps,
James.
