The first number to the left of the colon represents the default encoding.
Its value should be constructed with the format string "0x%X:0:0", where %X is replaced by the UID of the logging in user.īy default, my copy of ~/.CFUserTextEncoding contained 0:0. The environment variable name is _CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING.
You can prevent this access by setting an environment variable that tells Core Foundation the default text encoding to use. If you switch the EUID to the UID of the logging in user and then call CF, you may have problems when Core Foundation accesses this file.
#CHANGE TEXT ENCODING MAC MAC OS X#
Below is an excerpt from Technical Note 2228 of the Mac OS X Reference Library with some more information:Ĭore Foundation tries to access the user's home directory to determine their default text encoding (stored in the file ~/.CFUserTextEncoding). Browsing those sites and related links I found this: ~/.CFUserTextEncoding stores the default text encoding and preferred language for a user. Regarding those, I thank your reply, but I'll need a more useful solution than just blaming MS. TextEdit is the least of the problems, the main problem lies on all the Mac applications which text encoding defaults I cannot customize. I'd wish for a better alternative (is Mac OS, I do have high expectences) So I change one nuissance with another, which is not a permanent solution.
#CHANGE TEXT ENCODING MAC WINDOWS#
If I change open default encoding in TextEdit preferences the problem with Windows encoded files will be fixed, but then the problem will appear with files saved with Mac default encoding.
#CHANGE TEXT ENCODING MAC FOR MAC#
"Automatic" in Mac apps tends to mean "default" (not detection), which can result in MacRoman be used for Latin text, which generates the character differences you described in your first post.Īs for Mac Excel and Word, if they are not reading stuff made in Windows Office correctly, I think that is something MS will have to fix. If you set your open/save default in TextEdit Preferences to Latin-1 or UTF-8 you should be able to minimize the kind of problems you have described related to that app. What is next, and I keep the question open for that, is to find a way to do the same in all the oher applications that are presenting the issue: preview mode in FInder, Word, Excel and Stata. I will ask app developers for ways to customize -or at least to know- the text encoding used. Thanks for helping me finding part of the solution: I will convert every "problematic" file to UTF-8 encoding format, configure TextEdit and TextWrangler to save files as UTF-8 for Windows compatibility. However, the problem is still there with the remaining apps, for example: Mac Word and Excel. This successfully solves the problem for viewing and writting plain text files across Windows and Mac.
#CHANGE TEXT ENCODING MAC CODE#
Only by indicating manually the code (ISO Latin-1) the file is displayed properly, so I check this option in the TextWrangler preference "If file's encoding can't be guessed, use". I installed TextWrangler and opened one of the files that TextEdit displayed wrongly, but even even TextWrangler fails to identify the original file encoding. I'd wish there it were that simple, or al least that a complex solution would be available for all this encoding problems, because some apps won't let me know which encoding they use or configure their file outputs in a different/custom encoding system. *multi-language gui support, now include english, simplified chinese,traditional chinese.Thanks again. *automatically check source file encode format, or assign source file text encode format. *you can use file filters, include words and exclude words in file name or file path to filter files.
*You can select output to DOS (CR/LF), Unix (LF), Mac (CR) newline format, or not convert source newline format. *Fast batch convert multiple documents, supports sub-folder, it can process thousands of files within several minutes! *Convert text character to and from any encoding(include utf-8,utf-16le,utf-16be,utf-32le,utf-32be,gbk,big5,shift-JIS,euc-jp,euc-kr etc), fox example convert ansi encode to utf-8, or convert to utf-16le from utf-8 etc. Text Encode Converter can convert the encoding of XML and HTML files, however you may need to manually edit the encoding declaration of the resulting file. This is a terminology mistake that people new to computing sometimes make, mixing up the words "encode" or "encoding" and "format". html files etc from ansi encode to utf-8 encode. Text Encode Converter just does plain text conversion, fox example can convert.
#CHANGE TEXT ENCODING MAC PDF#
Text Encode Converter is not a file format converter! fox example can not convert PDF to text or anything else like that. It can process thousands of files within several minutes. Text Encode Converter is an easy-to-use application that can help you batch convert multiple ansi/ utf-8/ unicode plain text documents between any encoding.
