Hm, do I understand it right that this means that there is no easy way to convert such an encoding to Unicode?
No, the encodings used in RTF files must be well-known unless the font itself is a weird font developed for Win 3.x.
They are most likely one of DOS/Windows codepages or MacOS scripts.

Hm, in my RTF test file, the standard characters are defined as \fcharset77. According to the RTF spec, 77 is "Mac" (I assume Mac Roman), so this seems consistent. However, the Unicode character 34269 uses \fcharset80; 80, as far as I can see, is not defined as a character set in the RTF spec anywhere, and an additional \cpg keyword to specify a codepage is not used.

Even if 80 was a specified character set, how would I translate it into Unicode? Do I really have to write a conversion table myself in my code? That's no big deal with 2^8 characters, but it surely is with 2^16...

Bye
Uli
