Thanks for your reply Mark, unfortunately my problem wasn't related to
page-encoding.

Found out what the problem was. Wasn't related to the non-unicode languge
settings but to the STANDARDS AND FORMATS settings. I had set that to
Japanese and for some reason than then indicated all multi-language programs
to switch to Japanese.

Switched back to English and now have no problem.
