You are missing many minor releases. The latest version of 8.4 is
8.4.17. It will also fall in EOL last year, so think about an upgrade!

initdb has an option called --encoding allowing to override the
encoding of the template database when initializing server. You can
also specify an encoding with CREATE DATABASE, but use template0 as
template database in this case.
postgres=# create database foo encoding 'LATIN1' TEMPLATE template0;
CREATE DATABASE
