Non-standard characters not displayed

Hi!
When I'm editing a file (even a newly-created one), whatever non-standard characters (e.g. é, á, ü, ö, etc) I type, it's only a small square displayed in place of them. If I edit an existing file and then save it, the non-standard characters get messed up in it (shown as '?' if I look at them with another editor).
This is the command I run jedit with:
.../java/jdk/1.5.0_09/bin/java -Xmx512m -jar /home/agoston/jedit/4.2/jedit.jar $@ 2>/dev/null >/dev/null
(But it behaves the same way with other JVM versions.)
I'm working on SUSE Linux 10.1.
Some relevant settings:
Utilities / Global options / general /
default character encoding: ISO-8859-1 (but there's no difference in behaviour if I set it to e.g. UTF-8)
Auto-detect file encoding when possible: YES
Any idea on how to get jedit to get non-ISO-8859-1 characters right?
Thanks!
