Your friend saved the pgn in cp-1250 (windows?) and you have to convert this to utf-8 I opened your pgn with kwrite (or kate) and changed the code to cp1250. There are many programs for converting (convmv) available on internet for windows and linux. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1250 Franz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list Scid-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users
