Autodetection seems to have the most issues with old DOS codepages using ANSI art. See for example https://github.com/ochrons/dsmi/blob/master/src/DMP.DOC or the ASM files in https://github.com/sagamusix/impulsetracker and https://github.com/sagamusix/VelvetStudio/tree/master/Code
pspad: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Try to switch off autodetection, select "favourite" (default for you) codepage and PSPad will work as you want. It will still detects utf-8 (if there are any utf-8 encoded chars) and other unicode pages. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The problem with changing my favourite codepage is that I want *my own* newly created files to be all UTF-8 without BOM. So maybe a potential fix could be to have two different settings for 1) default encoding to use for newly created files and 2) default encoding to use for reading files with unknown encoding. -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?4,77125,77128> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
