Hmm. What would the detrimental side effect of changing it be? Would the "en_US.UTF-8" work with Xastir? Is this the system default in all versions of OS X? I am running Xastir in both Leopard and Tiger. (The one I'm specifically trouble-shooting here is Leopard.)

The script idea works to a degree. Then I have to recall to use the script to launch in all situations. I sometimes will launch using a menu shortcut. Sometimes I launch from a terminal. I suppose I could setup an alias to the script and just get used to always using that.

Thanks.

I would discourage your from "re-setting" your system default encoding without careful thought. The default on OS X is en_US.UTF-8 Instead, write a shell script that starts xastir and set your encoding there.
