| Summary | 0000320: 'file' reports encodement as merely 'ISO-8859' rather than specifically 'ISO-8859-1' or 'ISO-8859-15' or 'ISO-8859-14'. | ||||
| Description | 'file' reports encodement as merely 'ISO-8859' rather than specifically 'ISO-8859-1' or 'ISO-8859-15' or 'ISO-8859-14', which means that the informqation is not useful for me, because I must know more specifically the current encodement to be able to configure utilities that are similar to 'http://invent.kde.org/utilities/kate' to | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Install Windows 10. Create one '.deskthemepack'-file by exporting the current theme. Install 'http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Server/x86_64/iso'. Install 'http://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/file'. Utilise 'http://invent.kde.org/utilities/ark' to extract the '.theme'-file from the '.deskthemepack'-archive-file. Invoke '/usr/bin/file' with the path of the '.theme'-file of text as the sole argument as '/usr/bin/file 'file.theme''. Alternatively, or conclusively, utilise 'file' to provide the encodement of any file that contains text whose encodement is 'ISO-8859'. | ||||

The question is how to tell the difference? For example while you can probably tell the difference between 8859-1 and 8859-14 by using a Celtic dictionary, it would be nearly impossible to tell the difference between 8859-1 and 8859-15. |

Yeah, that's a good point. Additionally, apologies for the strange phrasal and punctuation - I filed this when I was a *lot* younger, and I don't see an edit button in MantisBT. |
