I personally run Slackware, but I decided to do a little distro hopping and play around again, so I just installed Ubuntu 23.04.
I assumed the contents of syslog on any distro is the same, because in Slackware, I've never had any issues like this before.
When I installed geany in Slackware I compiled it from source, and I never changed any of these settings. Does geany by default use a standard encoding setting?
In Ubuntu it is on Western (ISO-88591) so I wonder if in Slack, if might of been on UTF-8... hmm
Forgive my ignornance, but I thought in the West 88591 is the standard to open any file?
THANKS
