[UNIX version] Use UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859-1 for txt files #5

Closed jmfergeau closed 3 years ago

jmfergeau commented 7 years ago

The program uses ISO-8859-1 format to generate files. Usually, for english songs and texts, it's not really a problem. But for other languages (french for example) it can cause problems when using other linux programs for song edition (like Yass) with special characters such as accents. So, maybe using the UTF-8 with BOM instead would work well since UltrastarDX seems to recognize UTF-8 with BOM correctly.

Since i'm very noob at programming, i don't know at all if it's possible and how, though.

@maxlefou, please try the latest build after c434497f62f6714ab0ab920646650e60785ea797.

please do not set UTF-8 with BOM. There is no advantage of ByteOrderMarking every text line and most standards suggest to just use UTF-8 without BOM.

jmfergeau commented 6 years ago

utf-8 without bom doesn't support accents... Well at least, everytime I tried, the without bom messes up accents

I will have to look into this...
