Re: problem copying RTF files

Daniel,

First thing I'd do is change TextEdit's Preferences to use UTF-8 encoding when saving files. Asian characters can't be represented in single byte formats. I don't know what TextEdit save's as using it's default "Automatic" settings. I just tried creating a RTF file with a bunch of random Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters, duplicated the file and opened it with TextEdit without incident.

Hope this helps,

Ron

Hi Ron,

I have no trouble typing Chinese or Japanese into TextEdit. The problem is when I try to use a simple copy program to copy the rtf file into a duplicate file. That file cannot be opened. My code works fine for text files, but for some reason not for rtf files.

According to the TextEdit preferences, "Automatic" will choose either the system default (in my case, Western roman) or Unicode depending on the file contents. Since there is already Japanese and Chinese in the file, it should be OK.

The Japanese and Chinese are also not displaying properly in the terminal window. Do you know how to fix that? Thanks.

Daniel
