[Toolserver-l] phpMyAdmin latin1 display

I have a question about something that's always annoyed me (not actually a problem so not worthy of a JIRA request IMO).

My
 MyISAM tables are collated as latin1_swedish_ci. As far as usage in my 
HTML reports goes, everything works great, so I'm happy with this setup.

However,
 if I browse one of these tables in phpMyAdmin, (and under the very 
unnoticeable +Options link in the browse view, uncheck "Show binary contents as HEX") I don't get the proper display of values.

For instance a table whose column is stored as

dab_title varchar(255) binary NOT NULL default ''



will display as



Jarosław_Dąbrowski



when I want



Jarosław Dąbrowski



and indeed that's what I get when I display it in a report. Again, not a
 problem, but I was wondering if anyone knows an easy way to get 
phpMyAdmin to display the contents properly. 



Thanks,

Jason
