Too bad. Though the API *is* there. It's QTextCodec::name() and QTextCodec::aliases(). IMO it's a mistake by Qt to return "System" there, since "System" has exactly zero use. Or at least QTextCodec::aliases() should contain the actual name in one of its elements. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
