so, i've changed my english.php and vietnamese.php to UTF-8 for both the regular side & admin. I also added the extra file to make my CHARSET utf-8.

my emails send right. all the text displays correctly on the site.

BUT, when certain of the files in the "vietnamese" folder are called, the text gets huge & the layout gets thrown off.... i finally found the culprits & just used HTML style vietnamese on those... and it fixed... the HOME PAGE only

but then when i go to other pages, they call other .php files & i get the problem all over again.

i'm using EditPad Lite to do my editing. Of course in order to type in Unicode, I need to change the encoding of the file to UTF-8 and that seems to be the problem. Even if I leave all the English normal characters in place, if I simply convert the file to UTF-8 encoding & upload it, voila, it causes the problems.

Any help?
