Bug Description

Binary package hint: gphpedit

Web browsers do not use UTF-8 encoding as default, but ISO-8859-1.
So, a PHP editor designed for the web should give you the possibility to choose the encoding.

If you speak english, you may not see the difference, but in spanish we have special characters such as ñ, ¡, ó ... now think about hebrew, japanese, chinesse...

The attached file is an example.

Hi, you can try the version shipped with ubuntu 10.10 or download the new RC at http://www.gphpedit.org/content/19/gphpedit-0-9-98-release-candidate-1
since this is the same as bug https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?107288
and it's fixed in these versions.
