Dear all,

I have to work with a program that wants  Windows Latin 1 as character
encoding for its input files. I can use BBEdit to convert  ISO Latin 1
files to Windows Latin 1, but then I get an 'Unmappable characters
encountered' message, with the only options to save as UTF-8, or Show
unmappable characters.

The unmappable characters are curly quotes or dashes. Is there some
way in BBEdit to 'convert unmappable characters to nearest
equivalent'? I can do that by hand, or I can convert the whole file to
ASCII, or I can save the whole file as UTF-8, but I am hoping for a
way to just convert the unmappable characters to the nearest
equivalent within the chosen character encoding. Which would in this
case probably be a partial conversion to ASCII.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Jan Pieter Kunst
