I am running into a problem where the excel file has extended latin characters (eg. ��ppl��r etc). When I save the file, I'm not sure what encoding excel uses...
...also when I use POI (v1.8) to open the file (using POIFSFileSystem) I'm not sure what encoding is being used and whether or not that supports these characters. I'm guessing that the platform's default encoding gets used.
On Windows, the default encoding ensures that the file contents are preserved and everything works great. But on unix (solaris), the file contents (for these latin extended characters) are get garbled ?!?
Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions ??
thanks !
