Re: [Kdiff3-user] Decoding a cp1251 file saved as utf8?

[Joachim E. <joa...@gm...>]

Hi Angel,

I'm not quite sure that I understand the problem correctly.

When reading as UTF8 and writing the same data as UTF8 then I would not expect 
many changes, because except for a few places everything should stay the same, 
regardless of what codec is really used as input. 

Yet you wouldn't write if there were no problems.

Could you repeat this with a test file and send the original and modified 
versions?

Cheers,
Joachim
