Well, maybe I open pandora box, but ... more and more often I happen to meet PGN files containing non-ascii characters in comments. Sometimes PGNs are UTF-8, sometimes use different native encodings (I'm Polish so latin-2 is frequent, I read Russian so ... PGN you can download from http://online.crestbook.com/viewer/2007/svidler-grischuk_mexico_2007_14.htm is of some interest etc)
I feel that I do not quite understand what is scid attitude towards text encoding. char* is internally used, but I am not sure about encoding (is it just based on locale?) I tried manually entering comments containing native chars in comment editor and ... it seems it more or less worked (maybe because I use utf-8 locale?) - the comment was properly displayed and saved, scidpgn properly saved utf-8 file, pgnscid converted it back. But is it an locale-dependend accident, or something was done? Also, it could make sense if pgnscid could be given input encoding... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
