Re: RTF enconding

[Fred Kiefer]

Hi Andreas,

this problem is caused by the GNUstep code not taking the encoding of
the RTF file into account.
The (known) problem is in the method [RTFConsumer
parseRTF:documentAttributes:class:] here we should peek the encoding and
use this to interpret the read characters.
If you send my a short Mac file with Umlaute in it, I might have a look,
but I wont promise nothing.

Fred
