I think I need to upscale a UTF-8 character to UTF-16 or use some regex-UTF-foo in order to view correctly in a pdf generated by ruby's PDF::Writer.
This is what I see in the ward directory: Encarnación Braña (Output from webpage, also displays well in my terminal) Encarnación Braña (Output in PDF) Encarnaci\303\263n Bra\303\261a (Ruby's String.inspect) If I understand correctly: ANSI is the normal a-Z, and uses 1 byte per character. UTF-8 is for normal international characters and uses 2 bytes per character. UTF-16 can handle all the 25,000 character-alphabets and uses 4 bytes per character. I see 2 bytes being used, hence this is encoded in UTF-8? Or could this just as well be some ISO something? I've tried a few of the various monkey patches suggested online (including Incov changes to the String, PDF::Writer, and Mechanize modules, but it doesn't work). Have any of you encountered this problem before? AJ ONeal
