character problem

[psnub]

Hi and good work on this wonderful shopping cart. Sorry for my bad english.

Iam bothered with one problem. Iam doing website for finnish people and we have in everyday language such a characters like ö and ä. The problem is when I save gategory like "pöydät" (tables in english), script strip it to "p". I figured it out there is many spots in admin source where utf-8 appears. I tried cahnge in admin dir header.inc.php also config.inc.php charset=utf-8 to charset=iso-8859-1 but that didnt much help, but what I got was couple of "ghost products" which I got to delete via phpMyAdmin.

So is there a simple way to save data to db in iso-8859-1?

Second question. Is there simple way to show that new products module in frontpage?
I didnt get it work at admin/modules/transplant.

Ps version is 1.0.0.8

Thanks.
