UTF-8 to ASCII encoding problem

2005-05-19 08:06:30
I have a strange encoding problem that I cannot understand.  I have what I
hope is an identical java/XSLT environment on two platforms ? one Windows,
the other Linux.  I am using java 1.4.2.

I receive documents in UTF-8 which may contain pound signs correctly
encoded as &163;. I need to style these into ASCII and so my style sheet
defines the output encoding -   <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"
encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>. 

On the Windows platform this works fine, but on the Linux platform, it
generates the sequence EF BF BD which I think represent the fact that it
couldn?t recognize the pound sign.

What have I mis-configured/mis-installed on the Linux platform for this to
happen?
