Well, I'd say an ideal solution would be for gedit to detect the encoding by itself, and thus avoid all these tricky configurations. I've experimented a bit with universalchardet, which comes with Mozilla project, and its separate library libuchardet. I found it to be smart enough in most cases. Attached is a preliminary patch I did to support gedit with uchardet, for preliminary early preview.
I'll come up with a testing package a bit later. ** Patch added: "uchardet.diff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/gedit/+bug/819714/+attachment/3052309/+files/uchardet.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/819714 Title: Can not display GB2312/GB18030 encoded chinese files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/819714/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
