Koha is best with Latin1

So, I've spent like 7 full working days on trying to get Koha to work with UTF-8 for no good at all. I switched all configs to Latin1 and suddenly it works somewhat better. Here's how I did;



vim /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
-----------------------------
#AddCharset UTF-8 .utf8
#AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1
AddCharset ISO-8859-1 .iso8859-1 .latin1



vim /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
----------------------------
#default_charset = "UTF-8"
default_charset = "ISO-8859-1"



vim /etc/mysql/my.cnf
(pid-file = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid)
---------------------
#[client]
#character_set_client=utf8
#[mysql]
#default-character-set=utf8
#[mysqld]
#init-connect = 'SET NAMES utf8'
#character-set-server=utf8
#collation-server=utf8_swedish_ci



[client]
default-character-set=latin1
#[php-cgi]
#default-character-set=latin1
[mysql]
default-character-set=latin1
#[mysqladmin]
#default-character-set=latin1
[mysqlcheck]
default-character-set=latin1
[mysqldump]
default-character-set=latin1
[mysqlimport]
default-character-set=latin1
[mysqld]
init-connect='SET NAMES latin1'
character-set-server = latin1
default-character-set = latin1
collation-server=utf8_swedish_ci
