alternative solutions for guessing plain text encoding

also

$err:=CP Get good encodings ($euc;$codepages)


$err:=ICU Get good encodings ($euc;$encodings;$languages;$confidences)

but I agree with Koen, to request UTF-8 “encoding” for PDF seems like a 
misunderstanding by the end user.

I know Adobe Acrobat phrases it that way

https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/file-format-options-pdf-export.html

but in reality, PDF has an embedded font mapping system for rendering,
which makes “text encoding” kind of irrelevant for rendering.
you might have seen PDF that display fine but copy and paste or searching is 
garbage.
I think that it the scenario the user want’t to avoid.

FWIW, BBEdit also guesses what the text file encoding could be. It does a good 
job, but it can be fooled.
