Accents problem

Hello,

Maybe a silly question, but does it happens when you open an existing
file or when you type a character like 'â'?

I have, like you, the same problem when opening a file with already
utf-8 characters inside it, but when I type an accented character I have
the right character displayed (iso-8859-1), then in the file there is a
mix of utf-8 and iso-8859-1 characters.
It happens because we are many users editing the file and some are using
geany, and geany uses utf-8.

Ph.P.
