Kile should have an "Encoding" combo box in its file open dialog, which allows you to specifiy a different encoding for each file that you open. Choosing "cp 1250" works for me with old latex source files coming from Windows; kile should keep the encoding when the file is saved again. (I only use this feature very rarely, so I don't really know how reliable it is.) The encoding combo box should be below the "Filter" widget that limits the filetypes listed. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
