character sets- missing feature?

[Kjetil Rå Hauge]

>From the documentation, it seems that ISOtoMac 
handles only 8859-1. Other encodings would surely 
be a welcome addition to this function. This 
workaround will enable you to show  the Polish 
text above in a Revolution field:

- set the textfont of the field to Times CE or another CE font
- open the text with Safari (other OS X browsers probably work as well)
- change the encoding in Safari to Latin-2
- select all, copy, paste into field in Revolution
