On: LibreOffice 4.4, the Most Beautiful LibreOffice Ever

[nkoren]

Earlier this week I wasted 45 minutes trying to figure out why the software I've been writing was producing Chinese CSVs, before I finally thought to open them in some software other than LibreOffice. Thanks, Libre!

Did you change the encoding to UTF8?

But it does look like our default option is now UTF-16, there's now a bug logged about this - https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88909

Sorry that your experience wasn't great though :-(

Yes, the encoding was UTF-8.

No worries: I'm a developer too; I know these things happen. Given some of the regressions I've been dealing with recently, it was entirely believable that but was in my software -- otherwise I would have cross-checked with something else much earlier!
