Customizing the File Encoding Menus

See File Encoding for details about general considerations about the file encoding.

You can customize the file encoding menu displayed by iTeXMac providing a resource file located in your home directory at:

~/Library/Application Support/iTeXMac/General/Encodings.plist

This text file must have the following format

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
<!DOCTYPE-- plist SYSTEM "file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/PropertyList.dtd">
<plist version="0.9">
<array>
<string>Mac Roman</string>
<string>
ISO 8859-1</string>
<string>
Windows Latin 1</string>
<string></string>
<string>
Mac Central European Roman</string>
</array>
</plist>

where you just change lines enclosed by <string> and </string> which contents must be one of the declaration described in Recognized String Encodings

A void declaration like the third on above will correspond to separator item in the menu

If you do not see in the encoding menus the item expected (Mac OS Roman instead), either you have misspelled the declaration, or the encoding is not available in your system implementation.
