Would this apply to PCL?

Thank you for that.

Given the sometimes strange things that Pluto does with UTF
encoded e-mail (as we have discussed sometime earlier)
perhaps I should not be surprised?

Presumably the fact that cutting and pasting Latin-2 text
into an Easiwriter document, using Trinity, gives me
Latin-1 text, is down to EW not supporting font encodings?

Any chance that that might change?
:-)

I have absolutely no idea hw difficult it is to implement.
