Sure:

   1. Start texmacs
   2. "Open file"
   3. Navigate to a folder with "á" in it, or open a file with that
   character in its name.
   4. Nothing opens. An error message displays on the status bar: "Error:
   file bláblá.tm <http://xn--blbl-6nac.tm> not found."

 It has to be some problem with the encoding, either of my filesystem, which
is whatever Apple saw fit choose for my iMac, of QStrings, which are Unicode
I think, or, well... you know. Thing is the scheme code is passing the file
name to open in the wrong encoding and calling scm_quote() on a utf8 string
seems to solve/hide deeper the problem.

And now that I think of it, this has been going on for some time now, not
only on the Mac port. I used to run WinTeXmacs on WinXP (1.0.7.5 I think,
can't check right now) and It would always refuse to export pdfs or ps to
folders with áéíóú in them. But this was some time ago and I can't be more
specific or even be sure about it. Sorry.

I do not fully master texmacs internals to tell you about encodings. As far

Ok, I'll do some reading when I have the time. Thanks,
