No, just make sure your pages are properly saved in ISO-8859-1 and that
the server is configured to deliver the correct charset in the
Content-Type header.

That's assuming ISO-8859-1 covers all the accented characters you need--
what language is it for? If it's French then you should be fine. If it's
Vietnamese (say) then you need a different encoding, probably UTF-8.
