------- Additional comments from jeong...@openoffice.org Wed Mar 11 07:28:04 +0000 2009 ------- There was a bug report through Korean community forum that a utf-8 encoded text file was displayed broken when opened in OO.o. I checked the file with binary editor and found that the file has no BOM, and it caused OO.o to apply system encoding (in this case, MS949) instead of utf-8. As far as I know, BOM is not mandatory for utf-8 encoded text file, then OO.o should handle the case in better way. I understand that it is possible to force a specific encoding when user opens text file in OO.o. However, for plain users who do not have idea on encoding, that would be rather difficult thing. The possible solutions I can think of are 1. Letting user choose encoding when file is opened. This was already implemented for the text file without extension, and it might be not bad to apply the same thing for the utf-8 encoded text file without BOM. 2. Implementing auto detection of encoding like in firefox. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
