Subject: Re: Problem with Iconv

One "small" update...

if I use

Iconv.new('ascii//ignore//translit', 'utf-8').iconv

(i.e. adding ignore)... it will work, but the accentuated characters are 
only removed... (and not converted to their utf-8 equivalent)...

using the following will also work:

Iconv.new('ISO-8859-1', 'utf-8').iconv

But I get weird results (some characters are removed, some are 
converted..)

What I'm really wondering is, why 'ascii/translit'  was working just 
fine on cygwin and gives me an error on InstantRails ... :(
