BBS uses iso-8859-1, but it should be using utf-8, at least in the 'Other languages' section. I have troubles reading czech posts (e.g. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=6888) until I manually switch browser to utf-8.

Proposed solution:
change (somehow, I don't know, how does phpBB work inside) the
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
to
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  punbb 1.3 (which will hopefully be released sometime soon...) will use utf8 everywhere by default. This issue will resolve itself then.

Also make sure that server-sent Content-Type HTTP header is equivalent for meta http-equiv.

This problem will not initially disappear with the new punbb forum, however utf8 will be the default after the next forum upgrade (which I cannot say when it will happen, have to wait for punbb 1.3 to be released)
