Actually, for me it only detects UTF-8 and Latin-15. I even tried to open a KOI8-U text file on gedit, and it was rendered as Latin-15. Perhaps it depends on the locale?
While a fix is released, here's a workaround: 1- Open the text file with Firefox. 2- Select the correct character encoding. 3- Copy the text and re-save the file as UTF-8. Anyway, I do think this should be a normal bug with normal priority - one should not have to resort to a full-fledged web browser (one which is a resource hog, even) to read a simple text file. -- change file encoding on the fly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67844 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
