Description

Diakonos is great editor. Thank you.

I am missing support other encoding as ISO 8859-2, cp1250 etc. I am from Czech republic, where people use other encoding than utf-8 often. Do you will add this functionality?

Hi, Martin. Thanks for your comments.

Unfortunately, I don’t have strong plans to support other encodings right now. However, I am not entirely ruling it out. I think what must come first is a stable/official release of Ruby 1.9, which will have much better support for m19n and other encodings.

I should point out that Diakonos runs under 1.9 now. This means encoding support is that much closer. :)

This is good news for me.

Martin: If you could point me at a good ISO-8859-2 font, as well as a sample document that you might edit, it would help me a lot.

Obviously, I need a monospaced font.

I just tested Diakonos 0.8.8 with a simple UTF-8 document, and it “just works” (thanks to Ruby 1.9).

Tested with this document, a little file in Czech.
