As I said, encoding "detection" is "search for an encoding that will convert the file to UTF-8", it just iterates through the list of known encodings trying each, and first that works wins. Its not possible to get it "wrong" but it also won't detect that there may be multiple "right"s. The actual conversion is using the system conversion libraries, so if that gets it wrong please report it there. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
