utf8 editor problems

[Wolfgang Zillig]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 535 bytes --]


hello,

I have a problem which is not directly related to context. When I create 
document in utf-8 I sometimes get "ïz£" (I hope this is displayed 
correctly in the mail clients, (a screen snapshot is attached also)) 
printed on a single page (in the pdf). These letters are not displayed 
in my standard text editors (scite and notepad++). Only when I open the 
file in amaya (a xhtml editor) I see these the following letters "" 
and I can delete them.

Does anybody know something about this?

Thanks

Wolfgang

I have also seen this (using SciTE and/or gedit, no difference), but
suddenly it disappeard (without upgrading context). This is not of
much help, except that you now know that you are not alone. I have a
reasonable updated ConTeXt on a TeXLive 2004 installation if that
matters...

Best regards, Micke P

your editor inserts a special sequence which (in a unicode environment) 
indicates that the file is utf encododed

(scite adds them but does not remove them when you change the encoding)

when in utf mode, context will handle this sequence but that may be too late

(if needed i can make texexec recognize it and switch to the utf regime 
automatically)

that was the hint: when I change the file encoding from my environment 
file and from the product-files to ansi it disappears from the pdf 
(utf-symols usually not needed in there).   This also explains my 
problems in my xml-testfiles where I tried in the main tex-document to 
code a footer line like: "(c) by me".

Thanks

Wow, that's incredibly broken (even more broken than using BOMs in the
first place - or an encoding that depends on them for that matter ;-).

(Thank Rob for UTF-8!)
