[Mono-dev] Character encoding issues on Linux

[Martin Brown]

Hi,

We've got an application running on Mono on Linux. For the most part it
runs very well; however every so often we get an exception: 
"CodePage 1256 not supported"
The code page number varies depending on the encoding present in the
file.

>From the MS page here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/shared/deeptree/asp/rightframe.asp?dtcfg=/library/deeptreeconfig.xml&url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemtextencodingclassgetencodingtopic1.asp?frame=true&hidetoc=false 
it looks like the MS .Net implementation relies on the OS for character encoding services. Is this the case for Mono too? If so, what needs to be available on Linux to perform this encoding?

Thanks

Martin
