I noticed this because the names of some of the authors aren't displayed correctlyl, e.g. in lines 57 and 69. Vim autodetects fileencoding as "latin1", whereas | $ chardet unison-manual.txt | unison-manual.txt: ISO-8859-2 (confidence: 0.88) The difference doesn't seem to matter. Both iconv -f iso-8859-1 unison-manual.txt and iconv -f iso-8859-2 unison-manual.txt produce identical files. The utf-8 encoded file differs only in the two lines mentioned above, and the two names look fine. Philipp
