Dunno yet. I have gone from UTF-8 to ISO Latin 1 (8 bit) with crazy
characters. Now Iīm trying ISO Latin 1 (7 bit) starting now. If anyone sees
nutty characters instead of an apostrophe or quote from now on, first I will
dink with my fonts and second, contact the developer. I donīt have a
"smart quotes" option to turn off, and I am seeing smart quotes quoted as
such right now.
I donīt even recognize what I write, and itīs pure genius ;-)
