--- Comment #17 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> ---
Concluding.

Comment 11 means WORKSFORME. (Please do re-open, if the original problem is
reproducible - please also provide a reproducible scenario in that case.)

Using \fcharset1 means (in the absence of \cpgN) that respective text runs use
"system encoding". This means, that *any* octet with value >127 has
*system-specific* value. Thus, such characters would be imported differently on
different systems; and - given that Bernard Moreton obviously uses Linux, with
the usual (but not 100% used) UTF-8 system encoding, their "รถ" would be
UTF-8-encoded in the RTF. Such an RTF will open wrong on any Windows system
(unless that system would use *still experimental* UTF-8 system encoding
support - i.e., ~0% of Windows systems uses that).

The idea that '"default" \fcharset1 should be used for all western text' is not
only wrong (meaning that all non-ASCII "western" characters would break on most
systems randomly), it is also Western-centric way of thinking.
