Gedit for windows 85/11/2023 Sure enough, Tools > Encoding has a long list to choose from. OK, just looked at Kate, being the default Kubuntu editor which I actually preferred at one point (I haven't gotten around to pimping my new 64-bit system yet and replacing my default apps). That's why you have to install a package to take care of that, or just drag all your fonts over like I do. That's why I asked if there is a plugin, which if there is I am sure plenty would know of.Īs for the font, I don't think that would matter, as they are all true type fonts, it's just that the Windows ones aren't included in Ubuntu coz of copyright issues and whatnot. Thanks for the info on the command - even that might be a tad quicker, but for anyone wanting a great freeware Windows app that runs perfectly in Wine, do check out Notepad++ (you just go to the Format menu and tick another encoding).Īnd yes, I would have thought there is an option in Gedit, but I can't find it. So I guess I'd like to know if there is a plugin for Nautilus that gives one the option of changing encoding, either manually or by setting a new default, or if there is a better Linux app for this. I'm not too fussed about having to convert with Notepad++, it's just that because everything I type in Windows looks the same in Ubuntu, I forget to do that to those created in Ubuntu and destined for Windows users. Now, I've looked in the Preferences of Gedit and there is no option to set the default encoding, nor an option in the menus (like, for example, View > Encoding in Opera browser). As you could imagine, it can end up looking nothing like how you designed it to be laid out. Use something other than Gedit while in Ubuntu.įor those wondering why it would matter, it's because while text files created in Windows look fine in Ubuntu, people opening ones made in Ubuntu or other distros will (generally) just see one huge paragraph with rectangles interspersed in place of spaces between paragraphs. Convert it with Notepad++ (which runs great in Wine) after creating it in Linuxģ. You'd think by now I would have gotten it into my head that when I create a text document of more than one paragraph intended for Windows users I'd either:Ģ.
