874,Improved character set support for RIS,dstillman,simon,"We really should address this. The relevant thread (or one of the many) is here: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/1246/

I think emitting UTF-8 RIS is probably a given. It looks like quite a few apps and sites do so, and users can always convert the RIS file to a more limited character set manually if necessary.

For importing, we may be able to use Zotero.File.getCharsetFromFile() for local files and the new responseCharset flag on doGet() and doPost() for RIS files from translators, since those charsets should be known. I think we can remove the IBM850 declaration and default to UTF-8.

For local files, there's also the possibility of adding an import-time option and only running getCharsetFromFile() if it's set to Automatic.

We should do something soon, even if more elegant options are pushed back to 1.5.",enhancement,closed,major,1.0.8,ingester,1.0,fixed,,tjowens
