Broken comments encoding in 4.2.1

[schmidt9]

Hello,
Russian comments in .m files created by XCode are being shown broken like:
//–ї—Г–љ–љ—Л–є –і–µ–љ—М - –ї–µ–є–±–ї (–Ф–µ–љ—М)

This is just a guess, but you may want to look at the DiffMerge options.

Under File Window -> Rulesets, create a new Ruleset for Xcode or .m files, assuming one does not already exist.

On the new Ruleset properties, enter the name, and file extensions (separated by spaces). For Character Encodings, see if you can find one that properly displays the encoding of your file.

Save the Ruleset, and retry a diff to see if the output is displayed correctly.

Note, there is a 'Default' Ruleset as well, so if most of your files are using the same code page, you can change the character encodings for those too.

Thanks, I edited Ruleset C/C++/C# and added m extension there. Than I changed encoding to UTF-8 and had to change font too (default Courier does not have Russian chars, the comments were shown with another one).
Now it works, thanks.
Maybe for the future you could change this Ruleset to use utf? Western European encoding supports only English.

Thank you for feedback. I'm glad that solved the problem.
