FileMerge doesn't understand UTF-8 either though.

No surprise there! It can't even deal with various line endings. How pathetically lame!

It's a surprise to me. Diff(1) works fine with utf-8 or any other encoding. It simply notes that the lines are different and prints the lines out. Admittedly, diffing utf-16 doesn't look very pretty but that's because my terminal is expecting utf-8 and diff is just dumping bytes.


If you want to convert line endings, just use mac2unix(1) which you can get from darwinports.
