Product descriptions don't display, but only in admni

[jeking]

I upgraded from 1.3.8 to 1.5.2. The only issue is the product description for most products do not display in the admin, but they do on the store front.

I did set the charset and the db defines to iso-8859-1/latin1, as suggested. Using utf-8 did cause other issues that this fixed.

I looked at the description field in the database and tracked it down to what appears to be a space but isn't a regular space.

<span><font color="#006699" size="5" face="georgia,times new roman,times,serif"><strong>##<em>Advanced## </em></strong></font></span>

If I remove the space here, <strong>##<em>, the description displays. Why would that be if the character set is the same as it was? They do display fine in the 1.3.8 cart. And how do I fix this?

Using Notepad++, when I copy this 'space' I find five others not not the regular spaces. So it looks like a space, but isn't.

Seems I missed the admin english.php define. It was still utf-8 and setting to iso-8859-1 to match my old imported data fixed the problem.
