Re: [Supertuxkart-devel] An idea for grand-prix mode

[Marc C. <mar...@gm...>]

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.

UTF-16 and UTF-32 are not a good option because the predefined grandprix
files are plain ASCII. If I save the user-defined GPs in UTF-16 or 32
there will be 2 different file formats, which can lead to confusion.
UTF-8, on the other hand, solves all this problems.

I finally used the functions wide_to_utf8 and and utf8_to_wide, and they
were exactly what I was looking for. Now it works like a charm. But I'm
surprised that this two functions are only defined inside the scope of
that file. Shouldn't they be public static functions in the StringUtils
class, for example?
