I will ask app developers for ways to customize -or at least to know- the text encoding used. Thanks for helping me finding part of the solution: I will convert every "problematic" file to UTF-8 encoding format, configure TextEdit and TextWrangler to save files as UTF-8 for Windows compatibility. However, the problem is still there with the remaining apps, for example: Mac Word and Excel. This successfully solves the problem for viewing and writting plain text files across Windows and Mac. Only by indicating manually the code (ISO Latin-1) the file is displayed properly, so I check this option in the TextWrangler preference "If file's encoding can't be guessed, use". I installed TextWrangler and opened one of the files that TextEdit displayed wrongly, but even even TextWrangler fails to identify the original file encoding. ![]() ![]() ![]() I'd wish there it were that simple, or al least that a complex solution would be available for all this encoding problems, because some apps won't let me know which encoding they use or configure their file outputs in a different/custom encoding system.
