#6447: StyledEdit doesn't check for valid utf-8 ---------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: zooey | Owner: siarzhuk Type: bug | Status: assigned Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Applications/StyledEdit | Version: R1/alpha2 Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: 9395 | Blocking: 3065, 6252, 7954 Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ---------------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment (by siarzhuk): Replying to [comment:12 axeld]: > Haiku always uses UTF-8 by default. Guessing the character encoding is pretty hard to do for most encodings, and usually requires a lot of work. Granted, you can easily find out if something is not UTF-8, but that doesn't get you that far. By the way, ICU has character detectors and we can profit from this by wrapping those features in the Local kit. This is what #9395 is about. Anyway STXTTranslator do some homebrew rudimentary assumption about encoding. So, IMO we have to push hands in the dirt sooner or later. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6447#comment:14> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
