The encoding of a syntax file is independent of the encoding of the active file. --syntax-encoding controls the former. "SET LOCALE" controls the latter. If you add "SET LOCALE='utf-8'" to the top of your syntax file, it ought to work as expected. (Both encodings default to the system locale, so switching to a UTF-8 locale should also work.) _______________________________________________ Pspp-users mailing list Pspp-users@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-users
