Hi,
Webkit/GTK 1.1.15.1 fails to render ISO-8859-1 websites if no charset is
specified anywhere. Non-ASCII characters are displayed as �.
OTOH if the same website is saved as UTF8 everything is displayed correctly.

Attached is are two samples, one saved as ISO-8859-1 and the other one as
UTF-8. No matter what the current locale is, the former isn't rendered
correctly while the latter is so I assume Webkit always assumes UTF8 if nothing
else is specified.

Gecko handles this correctly somehow. Also gedit detects in both cases the
charset correctly so maybe one could take a look at that code ;)
