"Meta http-equiv" is only a fake. You cannot set the Content-Type
in a Meta fake:
http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/meta-http-equiv.1
http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/meta-http-equiv.2

Define the encoding (charset) in the HTTP header.
With Apache server, you can write into your .htaccess file:

   AddDefaultCharset  iso-8859-1
   AddCharset         iso-8859-1   html

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_mime.html
http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset
