This is an artificial limitation. That what makes UTF-8 so useful is that's a 8bit-clean encoding, just like ASCII. For the fileformat there's no difference whether UTF-8 or ASCII is stored. (when only characters from ASCII range are used, it even is identical to ASCII) If it can handle windows-codepages, latin#, etc. then it can also handle UTF-8. There's no technical reason for not supporting UTF-8 - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

[...] Unicode (UTF-8) 76 [...] So apparently it is already possible to load/save DIF with UTF-8 via the API, just not via the UI. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

AFAIK, DIF uses ASCII for encoding, hence OOo is correct by suppressing the UTF-8 option both for import and for export. Hi Oliver, I'm trying to push some issue submitted by the Beijing (non-RF2000!) OOo community. Would you be so kind to comment my assumption and set resolution accordingly. (Maybe ask Eike?!)

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.

The same problem occurs when saving DIF format. Having this flaw it is not possible to correctly open a DIF file saved from gnumeric (by default save in user locale, which is often UTF-8 on Linux). If the user wish to avoid Excel format, then DIF is the only format that allow user of gnumeric and ooocalc to exchange spreadsheet with data type settings (digit or text). Thus it make sense to correct this bug. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Partly because ODS support in Gnumeric is still experimental. They should enhance ODS support but it also make sense to let OOO be stronger in import/export. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
