Has anyone noticed Xcode suddenly losing the text encoding of a document with MacRoman characters? (specifically things like 'ƒ_sø').

No; my nemesis is line endings, which Xcode will either revert to Unix (despite my preferences being set to Preserve), or worse, mix.

If you haven't already, check that your source control system is behaving sensibly. For instance, it's very easy to end up with this problem if you have a network home and you e.g. check out code on a Windows machine and then check it in on a Unix or Unix-like system. The problems occur because most source control systems are trying to be too clever for their own good and perform line ending translations on check-in/out.


Similarly if you apply patches generated on a Unix machine to code checked out by/on a Windows system, you can mess up the line endings.

Both CVS and Subversion certainly cause these problems. I don't know about the various other systems, but I bet many of them do also.

Kind regards,

Alastair.
