UTF8 to MacRoman

Hi Stefano

I would recommend to use libiconv explicitly. It supports
lots of
encodings, also MACROMAN. The libiconv interface is straight
forward and
it can be used easily to convert UTF-8 to MACROMAN.

Based on my experience on some Unix systems:
Make sure that you use the real libiconv functions and not
the ones
provided by the OS. The OS typically supports less
encodings. This is
also true if you want libxml2 to use the libiconv explicitly
for input
decoding (MACROMAN to UTF-8). libxml2 provides iconv support
but you
have to make sure that the right iconv() functions are
invoked at
runtime. If you write your own conversion code, I suggest to
use the
libiconv/libiconv_open/libiconv_close functions instead of
iconv/iconv_open/iconv_close.

libiconv can be found here:

org/software/libiconv/

Cyrill
