Well, unicode encodes characters in 32bit (currently only the lower 24 bits are used). utf8 is kind of a compression system that converts 24bit numbers into multiple 8bit numbers. To simplify life, characters 127 and below stay the same, wheter encoded in utf8 or not. Characters above 127 however describe different ways of compressing the original 24 bit character. I won't go into detail, but it is enough to know that there are illegal sequences, for example, "ös" in ISO genrates a byte sequence that would be illegal in utf8. Maybe MSWindwos and OS X recognize illegal sequences and assume ISO encoding. The correct way though would be to convert all source files from ISO to UTF8. ---- http://robowerk.com/ _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list fltk-dev@easysw.com http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
