[Zope] Character set problems

[Allen Schmidt]

What timing. I am going through something similar.

Had a zope 2.7.0 instance on RH9..not sure of the python.
Had a bunch customer sites in it using VHM. Nothing in front of the zope. (I know....)

Moved to a new server, RHE4, Zope 2.7.5 on Python 2.3.5
Just moved the Data.fs and moved products and restarted. Perfect.

Now one customer says they are seeing question marks in places where bullets and apostrophes, etc. should be. 
Looking at the encoding the browser picks up and it always goes to UTF-8. If I manually switch it to Western ISO the page looks fine.

Where does this get set? In Linux? In Python? In Zope? ...and if so, where exactly and how to change it?

Any help appreciated.
