You can talk about missing features in gedit all day, but from my point of view an editor is broken when it doesn't throw an error message at you. By silently replacing incorrect UTF-8 they change the original text. 0xFFFD should probably be used only when error messages are out of question like when displaying/printing text only. -- Marco
