You haven't lived life to the fullest if your JVM has never decided MacIcelandic (an evil concoction of evilness (and probably the cause of high infant mortality rates in some third world countries)) is certainly an encoding someone should ever use. +1 for a UTF-8 default. - hugi On 30.8.2012, at 04:00, Chuck Hill wrote: > I agree, using the default encoding is evil.

This is just really wrong. I have gotten a bit of religion about this, having had it bite me in the posterior at work in some really old frameworks (that I did not write). I want to fix the methods in ERXFileUtilities so that they specify UTF-8. I can also put in a static ivar and methods to allow anyone to set their own without having to do it everywhere. If someone needs to specify EBCDIC or whatever, there it will be for you. >> >> Could anyone be relying on the default encoding, that it will come out on MacRoman on MacOS X and come out to something else on other platforms? >> >> I would hope not, but on the other hand, I thought I would ask.
