hi,
i want my files to be open in UTF-8 so i changed this in the Preferences Tab.
and additionally when i open a file i tell it to encode in UTF-8
but every time i get the message that signs are missing in the ANSI Latin1 page and will be replaced with the system standard.
what is the problem and how to get all the UTF-8 encodings?

You can't see
all Unicode characters in any one document in TextPad.
TextPad does not properly support Unicode. Each document must be rendered in its entirety in one of the 8-bit "scripts" that can that can be selected from
Configure | Preferences | Document Classes | <Class> | Font | Script
or
View | Document Properties | Font | Script.
These scripts are (with the code pages I think they correspond to):
Code: Select all
Western 1252
Greek 1253
Turkish 1254
Central European 1250
Cyrillic 1251
If all the characters in your documents are in any single one of these scripts then choose that script. If your documents are less graecoromanocentric or if they contain characters from more than one script you cannot use TextPad to edit them.
See, for example,
