[Gretl-users] accents, line breaks

This is in response to Henrique Andrade's postings, http://lists.wfu.edu/pipermail/gretl-users/2016-June/011883.html http://lists.wfu.edu/pipermail/gretl-users/2016-June/011884.html It turns out that these issues could be fixed without great difficulty -- see git and the current snapshots. We now intercept and modify "%s" string conversion specifiers for printf and sprintf so that numerical values indicating width and "precision" are taken to be in UTF-8 characters rather than bytes. Since email is liable to mangle this sort of thing, I'm attaching a little PDF file which illustrates "before" and "after". As for extra line-breaks appearing in some contexts on Windows, this is to do with the Windows-specific business of opening files in text versus binary mode; I think it should be fixed now too. Allin
