Hi Carlos:
I think you got a encoding problem.
Maybe is esier to convert it.
I don't know how to convert in Mac OS, but
in linux you can use "iconv" that converts many codes
to other.
Is the original file form a windos$ OS system?
Maybe the encoding is in windows-1256 and you need
to convert to a compatible MAC enconding.
Hope this helps.
