           Summary: Regression: Kate in KDE 4 cannot read cp1255 text.
           Product: kate
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwrite-devel@kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde-2@dotancohen.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.1)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have a text file created on MS Windows with Hebrew text. In KDE 3.x when I
open the file in Kate I get Gibberish as Kate assumes UTF-8 text. However, I
can manually change the encoding to cp1255 and then Kate displays the file just
fine.

In KDE 4.1 when I open the file in Kate I get the same Gibberish, however,
selecting cp1255 does not change the way that Kate displays the file. I still
get Gibberish.

Note that services such as http://gibberish.co.il cannot translate the
Gibberish that Kate produces as all the characters are identical. So this could
even be considered a dataloss situation.
