#25 UTF-8 request

[lolow0]

Sorry, I think it is more a request than a bug but is
it possible to write the files in UTF8 encoding? Since,
I didn't find the feature in the file dialog and in the
preferences one, I think not.
I have all my tex files in utf8 :-), sorry.
Thanks for this good application.

Hi laurent,
Provided you export LANG to the appropriate value before
running jpicedt, e.g., export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 (may be
directly inserted in /usr/bin/jpicedt script), then java
will handle all file I/O with the UTF-8 encoding.

Another way around (which might prove useful to Windows XP
users) is to add "-Dfile.encoding=UTF8" to the java
commandline inside the jpicedt script, e.g.:
"java -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -Xmx${JAVA_HEAP_SIZE}m etc."

I might think, however, of adding an option for choosing the
encoding system in the future. This belongs in the wish list :)

Version 2.0 of installer will have the possibility to create several shortcuts. Then for each shortcut you have an "Advanced" button which allows to select the default file encoding.

For version > version 2.0 I may do it on a preference basis, but I think that this is not that useful in the sense that one usually stick to the same encoding.

Anyway, I think that a prerequisite to changing the charset dynamically is to have configurable preference on a document per document basis, and this is not yet supported by jPicEdt/

Le « ÇA » c'est la demande de fonction #19 (DdF° #19) ? — c'est à dire pouvoir régler le codage document par document.

La correction de ce bogue c'est que l'installeur permet de configurer le charset qu'on veut (argument de la ligne de commande lançant jPicEdt).

En ce qui concerne la demande de fonction #19, je me pose la question de savoir si c'est vraiment pertinent. Selon moi l'avenir c'est qu'on fait tout en UTF-8 et qu'on utilise XeLaTeX.

De plus je ne veut pas implanter la DdF° #19 dans la version 2.0, en effet, je ne rajoute plus de nouvelle fonction majeure — j'essaie de corriger tous les bogues en attente. Et la configuration de propriété document par document c'est l'un des quelques trucs majeurs que je voudrais avoir dans la version 3.0. Une fois que l'infrastructure sera en place pour ça, alors avoir le charset doc par doc ne sera pas trop difficile. Donc version 3.0 au plus tôt pour la DdF° #19…
