Comments on: Very large push to RText SVN http://fifesoft.com/blog/?p=266 Another boring blog about software Sun, 27 Jan 2013 03:31:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: mnru http://fifesoft.com/blog/?p=266&cpage=1#comment-902 mnru Fri, 06 Aug 2010 06:13:39 +0000 http://fifesoft.com/blog/?p=266#comment-902 As you mentioned , I can select UTF-8 by file chooser, but it’s troublesome.
I hope RText has the setting the file which includes non-Ascii charactors is interpreted as .Ithink Scala code which includes Japanese charactors tends to be written in UTF-8,and other langguage for JVM code
which include non-Ascii charactors tends to be written in UTF-8 too.
So this need is pretty large, I think.

If no BOM is found (as in a UTF-8 file with no BOM), it’ll assume it’s the system default encoding. You’ll have to manually select “UTF-8″ as the encoding in the file chooser to open the file properly in that case.

Some editors are smart, and even if there is no BOM in a file, they’ll scan the file’s contents for Unicode sequences and try to pick an appropriate Unicode if one is found. Is this what you were hoping RText would do? If so, then please open a feature request here:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=95266&atid=610807

Note this still wouldn’t be fool-proof, as if you saved a file as UTF-8 with no BOM, but the file contained all ASCII characters (for example), an editor would still determine the file to be the system encoding (assuming the system encoding was ASCII-based).

Does manually selecting “UTF-8″ when opening the file in the file chooser work for you?

Have you tried going to:

Edit -> Options -> General

And unchecking “Include a BOM when writing UTF-8 files”?

I believe that on Windows, RText defaults this value to be “true”, but everywhere else it defaults to “false”, to mimic Notepad’s behavior on Windows. You may need to uncheck it for your needs.
