What I noticed is that the fileadmin module displays the names always
correctly. Since that module does no conversion, the solution is probably
really to treat it as ISO-8859-1 and utf8_encode() it.

When reading the PHP documentation, I've noticed that utf8_encode _always_
encodes the string from ISO-8859-1. Is this really the true? If so, how are
other countries (non-latin1) utf8-encoding their data?

I'm curious why PHP seems not to care about them?!
