Hello,

I recently discovered that I could not convert some docs from UTF to latin1 with
iconv, which stops on message:
iconv: illegal input sequence at position 851

The reason is the Unicode encoding of dashes, e.g. emdash (exported all right in
LaTeX as \textemdash), iconv does not seem to be able to deal with UTF encoding
of dashes.

No problem of course if dashes are typed in in as --- or Ctrl---.

Any clus about this ? Any other converter available (iconv appears as the
reference application on Linux for encoding conversions) ?

TIA
