Re: [Gretl-devel] Copy as RTF does not work well under OSX

Dear Allin I tried the latest snapshot. When I copied as RTF, I unfortunately encountered an error: gretl: error Couldn't open pbcopy I think that the locale that pbcopy refers to is CFUserTextEncoding because when I rewrote the contents of the invisible file on my home folder titled with .CFUserTextEncoding, from 1:14, to 0:0, copying as RTF from gretl works fine! According to some Japanese websites, 1:14 in CFUserTextEncoding represents Japanese, while 0:0 English. But I don't prefer this solution because editing environment files might cause unexpected troubles. I hope this will help you.
