I have taken this a little further after trying all suggestions in the thread with no success and looked into zope.conf, specifically:

# Directive: default_zpublisher_encoding
#
# Description:
#     This controls what character set is used to encode unicode
#     data that reaches ZPublisher without any other specified encoding.
#
# Default: iso-8859-15
#
# Example:
#
#    default_zpublisher_encoding utf-8

As my pages all report as iso-8859-15 I thought a change here would help, but this happens:

  from OFS.content_types import guess_content_type
Error: 'default_zpublisher_encoding' is not a known key name

It works on this:  Zope Version  (Zope 2.9.0, python 2.4.2, win32) 

And fails on this:  Zope Version  (Zope 2.9.0-, python 2.4.5, linux2) 

Any further help would be appreciated. 
regards
Garry

ps. just noticed the typo (not mine) in zope.conf  - default_zpublisher_encoding should be  default-zpublisher-encoding
all sorted
