Copy and Paste from Torsion to Skype gets wrong text encoding

by Timothy Graupmann · in Torsion · 04/14/2009 (10:35 am) · 4 replies

When I copy and paste the text source from Torsion and paste into a Skype chat, I get a bunch of Japanese characters possibly because the clipboard is using double byte encoding or something?

Is there a trick to make copy and paste work and enforce a western text encoding?

for ($i = 1; $i < $Game::argc ; $i++)

becomes:

Can you copy/paste OK into other text applications? It always used to be the case that to copy resources from the site into VC++, I had to go through Word first.
(...now I have to use 'view plain' instead :P...)

copy/paste into skype from torsion does this for me also.
I have to paste into notepad or something else and then copy from there to paste into skype. this only happens for me with skype.
