RE: encoding of text files

2002-11-14 12:39:23
 From a autotest description a java file is generated. If i 
use default 
output encoding (UTF-8), the German umlauts in the output 
looks like this one:
            "geändert"

If I use ISO-8859-1 it's correct:
            "geändert"


What it looks like on the screen depends entirely on the software you
use to display it. If your file is in encoding X and you display it
using software that thinks it's in encoding Y, then it will look like
garbage, regardless of the values of X and Y. All you're telling us is
that your display software can handle iso-8859-1 and can't handle utf8.
