TextEdit seems to work nicely with RTF and Unicode (although I am not a "power user"), but I've discovered a deficiency in opening files. I have a whole bunch of text files in Big5 (Traditional Chinese) encoding downloaded from Web pages. These are no problem for Nisus Writer, which easily renders them when you force them into a Traditional Chinese font. But for some reason TextEdit cannot render them in Chinese, even when I choose Big5 encoding from the Open... dialog, change to a Traditional Chinese font, etc. I always get a screenful of garbage.
So while at the outset TextEdit looks like a multilingual dream, it stumbles on simple tasks like this. One can only hope that NW X will not have this problem. ----------------------- Rick Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.yin.or.jp/user/rdavis/ --------------------------------------------------- The Nisus Interactive List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Searchable archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/nisus-interactive%40nisus.com/ To unsubscribe from this list please send a message with "unsubscribe nisus-interactive" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
