Hi.

Afaik for windows you can use "windows-1258", "iso 8859-1" and "iso 8859-15", although if you are an english user and don't use special characters, it doesn't really make a difference, because utf-8 also works as a superset of ascii.

I would recommend that you get a decent utf-8 supporting editor for windows, though (maybe kate for windows?).

Hi All:

I use a windows computer on some days of the week and my linux computer
on other days. I zip up files and transfer them from machine to machine.

WHen I open files on the linux machine with Kate using file > open there
is a box with a path name on the top of the dialog box... and another
box to the right of the path box. It says "utf8."

I think this means that I've got options to account for the different
encoding that I use on the windows machine.

What option in that little "utf8 box" (encoding box?) should I use?

Please reply to philpsmith@alumni.albany.edu

Many thanks!
