AW: What has changed in MacOS 10.12 in handling code pages?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Sure, for me it is natural and I do those checks myself.

But not for most of my customers, who partially just know, where to turn
on/off their computer. Even in the system requirements I never write (as
most do) MIN OS X 10.x, but OS X 10.x to 10.y. But at last nobody ever reads
that or cares about that. They are just upset, if my software doesn't run
anymore on a new system, while "all other software runs fine" ...
So it's always my problem. But not to tell about development for Android...

So isn't that normal software evolution? With every OS X upgrade most
software vendors have to tweak their product to make it compatible with the
latest and greatest. I usually wait until OS x.2 before scanning the
websites of my most needed software to confirm they are compatible before
I'll consider upgrading my OS.

I think some software developers bank on this 'need to update' to maintain a
revenue stream.

Granted, having fonts display abnormally isn't something I've ever heard of
before.
