Re: [pmapper-users] map2unicode question

[Armin B. <arm...@gm...>]

yes, it's the better solution and I will change it. It remained like it is because I never have to deal with anything else than Latin1 or Unicode. The main reason to use utf8_encode was because it did not explicitly require libiconv installed as iconv functions did. But in fact, it IS required also for utf8_..code. So it makes no sense to use it.
