#5 Bad encoding in output files
At least with the JavascriptWriter, some characters are
not correctly rendered (see attached log).
Assuming the encoding of the generated javascript file
is UTF-8 (should be UTF-16 according to Java doc), and
writting so the HTML page, there's only one character
that does not render correctly.
Beware of :
- the encoding of the original log file
- the encoding of the output of the JavascriptWriter
- the encoding of the HTML page itself
This is a real matter, and it should be taken with care.

Here's the HTML page I'm talking about :
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
<title>A T4C log</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="barde_t4c.css"
charset="UTF-8">
<!-- defer in the following declaration means that the HTML
rendering agent should continue to render without waiting
for the script -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="Keelala@.log.js"
charset="UTF-8" defer></script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
printLog();
</script>
<p><a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer"><img

Ok, I've found the problem : the character encoding is
ISO-8859-1.
So it seems that the original encoding of the log is kept
through the Java process...
Maybe I should add an "encoding" argument to each
input/output file.
