Subject: Non-ASCII characters in various files -- core and jumbo
Hi!
There are some non-ascii chars in various files and not everything is in
the same encoding.
1. Core.
There is only one non-ascii char in core tree -- in "R<E9>mi Guyomarch"
in doc/CREDITS. If this is in iso-8859-1 then it translates to Rémi
Guyomarch. Isn't it better to convert it to utf-8 or to pure ascii form?
2. Jumbo.
- There are some places where non-ascii char can easily be eliminated --
patches attached.
- There are multiple names in utf-8. This is probably Ok.
- There are two strings of lower- and upper-case letters from iso-8859-1
in doc/RULES. They are -- surprise:-) -- in iso-8859-1. IMHO it's better
to remove them or to convert the file to utf-8.
- src/encoding_data.h contains many chars in utf-8. It's probably Ok to
have one files where all such stuff lives.
- src/rules.c contains several comments with non-ascii chars copied from
src/encoding_data.h. Not sure, maybe remove them or non-ascii chars?
What do you think?
