Re: Converting from ASCII to UTF-8

["Dov Grobgeld" <dov grobgeld gmail com>]

Please beware that you can get by without converting if you are really
using the ASCII characters 32-127, since then UTF8 is the same as
ASCII. But for other characters, e.g. iso8859-1 above 128, you have to
use the converter routine before putting the text in the textviewer.
