[INDOLOGY] Help needed from Indologist with a Mac.

And the reason for that is because the files contain invalid UTF-8 characters. You might be good without BOM if you fix the broken files.

As an example, in advayatArakopaniSat-M00102-IAST.txt, line 31 has “pūrṇamadaḥ � iti śāntiḥ” where the middle character is supposed to be dash I assume, but it is not UTF-8 encoded. I attach list of all the files with invalid characters.

Also note that the following links are broken on the individual files page:

kedārakalpa<https://muktalib7.com/DL_CATALOG_ROOT/MUKTABODHA-LIBRARY-IAST/kedArakalpa-M00671-IAST.txt>
tatvaśodhanam<https://muktalib7.com/DL_CATALOG_ROOT/MUKTABODHA-LIBRARY-IAST/tatvazodhanam-M00655-IAST.txt>

śrīvidyānityapaddhati<https://muktalib7.com/DL_CATALOG_ROOT/MUKTABODHA-LIBRARY-IAST/zrIvidyAnityapaddhati-M00654-IAST.txt>

Hope this helps.

Dear Harry,

I confirm that some of the files are opened with wrong encoding in TextEdit. Unfortunately, TextEdit refuses to open it with UTF-8 when you pick it manually.

You could fix this by including a BOM mark at the beginning of the file. Let me know if you need any assistance.

Thanks,
Jan

Subject: [INDOLOGY] Help needed from Indologist with a Mac.

Dear list members,
I've just added a feature to the Muktabodha digital library where you can download individual files.  These are plain text files encoded in utf-8, but I'm getting some feedback that when some users download and open these text files, then some files display correctly but in other files the characters with diacriticals are not being displayed correctly.

 I think this is just a Mac problem and (I don't have a Mac and my windows computer displays correctly) and I've seen some postings about UTF-8 not working in TEXTEDIT.

Could a Mac user download a few of the etexts from the individual file download
https://muktalib7.com/DL_CATALOG_ROOT/MUKTABODHA-LIBRARY-IAST/UTF8-TITLE-LINK-LIST.html

see if some display incorrectly and if they do then in TextEdit change the encoding from automatic to UTF-8 and re-open the file.
The instructions I've seen for doing this in  TextEdit are:
In the TextEdit app  on your Mac, choose File > Open, then select the file (don’t open it).
Click Options in the lower-left corner of the window.
Click the Plain Text Encoding pop-up menu and choose an encoding.

Thanks,
Harry Spier
