Hi Roland. Please if we could keep fpGUI discussions to the fpGUI project,
that would be super useful. There are various ways you can do that, as
documented here:

  http://fpgui.sourceforge.net/support.shtml

You can also raise bug reports in the newsgroup, or via the Github project.

The "develop" branch is the way forward. If recently had renewed interest
to get the 2.0 release out, and that will be based on "develop".

ps:
  I'm almost done extracting all the resource strings of Docview, ready
  for translations. I'm post a notice in the fpGUI newsgroup when it's
  ready.

:-D  Me too.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

The encoding selection is actually chosen by reading it from the first INF
file, after you launch DocView. Different INF files can have different
default encodings.

Unfortunately, UTF-8 is not an official support encoding, but I made DocView
to work with it as best it can, seeing as WIPFC partially allows it too.
I am also busy writing my own new IPF Compiler. Once complete, UTF-8 is
definitely on the list of things I want to extend IPF with.

Lets move any further discussions to the appropriate project. ;-)

Regards,
  Graeme
