There hasn't be a conscious chose for a particular encoding with the AUTHORS.txt, this file is automatically generated for each release by osgversion over the git generated ChangeLog make ChangeLog osgversion -r ChangeLog It's not idea how this all works, it's pretty adhoc mechanism as there are typos and inconsistencies in the ChangeLog that make it difficult to generate the authors file. I welcome others pitching in with an improved system. Personally I'd rather Cmake scripts tackle tasks like this, the present C++ based parsing of ChangeLog long preceded our use of CMake.
