Wrong! Actually the original also has offending characters in geographic= = names: \207 and \222. This is getting very weird. There are 2 different issues : 1. will the file display correctly? 2. will it save in utf-8? I could save in utf-8 only by manually specifying utf-8-mac when saving = = (changing the buffer=E2=80=99s mode to utf-8-mac is not enough). However= the = display remains garbled. I could display correctly the other accented characters only by erasing = = \207 and \234, though \222 would not hurt in that regard. Alexandre
