LDCad 1.5 (win+linux)

[Roland Melkert]

The file is missing the special characters, it probably lost those when it was read as if it was UTF8 and then saved again.

File encodings are a real pain, luckily today's os's are more and more uniformly UTF8 orientated. So to prevent these kinds of problems you must make sure all your ldr/mpd files using special characters are stored as UTF8.

There are simple mass check/conversion tools online for this.

As for LDCad I'll try to add support for non UTF8 files (reading only, save will always be utf8 as is the LDraw standard) in 1.6.
