no, it PHP iconv only supports nl_NL.utf8 and various en_*.utf8 according to
locale -a
on the Ubuntu command prompt :(
and using nl_NL.utf8 doesn't fix my problem either :(
I've also tried saving the file to disk and then using commandline
enca file.ext
and
file file.ext
and
chardet file.ext
and
uchar file.ext
but all these will give me is that the file is encoded in ASCII.
On the upside, Ubuntu commandline
iconv
will support the windows-1250 character set,
but i have no way to detect which character set my document is encoded in,
at this time :(
For your convenience, i've included the file in question as an attachment
to this email..
