The reason that it doesn't work properly on Windows is because the default String encoding doesn't seem to have characters for 128-159. When writing a String to the file, you generally do writer.writeBytes(myString.getBytes()), but this turns 128-159 into '?'s.
The solution is to instead write writer.writeBytes(myString.getBytes("ISO-8859-1")). This seems to fix all the problems. |
