------- Additional comments from zhangwe...@openoffice.org Wed Jul 22 04:50:00 +0000 2009 ------- Hi thanks for your comment. The issue started from a practical (not "in theory xxx should") requirement: because we ourselves are using Linux on all office stuff, and some people choose to use gnumeric for gnome/lightness and some choose to use oocalc, then we find we have to exchange spreadsheets by using xls format which we prefer to stay away from. The requirement for most spreadsheet is not high, just row/column and data type correct would be enough, thus I think of DIF, then again failed for Chinese ideographs contained in. nowadays it is difficult to tell of something is ASCII or not thanks to multiple extension to ascii. The only difference exist is multi-byte or single-byte charset. below quoted from wikipedia: DIF stores everything in an ASCII text file to mitigate many cross-platform issues back in the days of its creation. However modern spreadsheet software, e.g. OpenOffice.org Calc and Gnumeric, offer more character encoding to export/import. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
