RE: FN-FORUM: Japanese encoding/charsets in RTF files

date posted 20th March 2006 14:53


The RTF docs are generated using RTFgenerator 2.5 from www.paggard.com, it's
a PHP based on-the-fly rtf file maker, but RTFs are limited in the encoding
types you can encode in:

ANSI = 0
Default = 1
Symbol = 2
Invalid = 3
Mac = 77
Shift Jis = 128


And so on.. but no UTF-8

Is there a way to pass the RTF doc through something else once its created
to convert the text into UTF-8?

What do you use to generate the RTF document?
What does the client view the document with?

It seems to me you'ld be better off mapping the Shift_JIS to UTF-8 and
export the document as UTF-8.
