is [UNIX / Western (ISO Latin 1)] the correct combination for
cross-platform scripts?
It is, but if you are using ISO Latin 1 exclusively (which you
probably should), make sure you configure the platform charset
accordingly.
Yes, have done that as well, to ensure that output is harmonized and
constant. The original question stands, though, irrespective of the
whole BBEdit / jEdit discussion. I've noticed, since writing
originally, that an almost identical phenomenon occurs with jEdit too
when opening files: the file may be saved as Western (ISO Latin 1), but
when opening in jEdit, the information at the bottom of the window
persistently shows Mac Roman, and the special characters are screwed.
(This appears to happen whether the jEdit default file preference is
set to Western (ISO Latin 1) or not.)
As to the whole debate about BBEdit vs. jEdit: from list members'
points of view, what are the convincing benefits of switching editors,
(excluding syntax highlighting)?
