I'm setting up a new wiki installation and running into some problems with 
garbage characters showing up due to mismatched character sets. The wiki in 
question is here: http://wikiausland.de/bookshop/Hauptseite

New articles written in are fine and display in UTF-8 as expected, but the 
owner has copied over some content, presumably from an old wiki or MS Word, and 
it seems like it's in ISO-8859-1 and thus showing a heap of question marks for 
all the umlauts etc… does anyone know how I can go about converting a page from 
ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 easily enough?

I've tried setting $wgLegacyEncoding to 'ISO-8859-1' [1] in the hope it might 
do the conversion for me on article save, but no joy.  Are there any other 
options? 

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Andru
