Re: utf-8 description (specify to use utf-8 without BOM)

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

Hello

Judging from posts in the perhaps no one want to implement functionality to use UTF-8 with the BOM
otherwise Mojca himself will try to it.  

What is not good for users, fact that the utf-8 with the BOM cannot be used in the current gnuplot is
not open to the public. 

In the first mail to this thread I have proposed manual modification (gnuplot.doc).
If it is accepted, it is grateful for me.  If the place I have proposed is not good, please suggest
where is the appropriate place to write it.

Regards

Tatsuro
