Ran into a bizarre bug while working on a friend's file.
She was exporting to SSA format in preparation for Captions Inc timecode ramping (ugh, my kingdom for a native ASS timecode feature... or better yet, a DVD sub export function with timecode!) She'd left it set on US-ASCII instead of UTF-8. When her files finished exporting, something like half the lines weren't in the exported file! Kind of random which ones were and weren't included, too. She wasn't doing anything outrageous with the character set (just English letters, numbers, and punctuation), so it's not that.
Changing the setting to UTF-8 allowed her to export a "proper" SSA file.
Probably not important - I set mine to UTF-8 back when I was first configuring the box, and haven't had any problems or reason to mess with it since. Was just curious. Went to look at the bug tracker, but it seems to be down? (Or rather, it only has a picture of a kappa...)
