Thnx for replying .... I have tested current cvs head and at least
properties title and navtext works fine.

There are several places in OpenCms source code (we only used 5.0.1) where
either ISO-8859-1 is hardcoded or a String is converted using
String.getBytes() without specifying an encoding so a "system default
encoding" is used which is neither the defaultEncoding specified in
opencms.properties nor the file.encoding property specified for the Java VM.
If that's still the same in current cvs head, maybe one of the developers
should do a full search and check these conversions.

At least these functions did not work correct on our system (using UTF-8 as
default encoding):
- properties title and navtext when creating a new page
- email content
- request parameters of multipart forms
