I'm trying to open a document that has non-Unicode Arabic text in it using Mac OS X. I know way around this problem in Windows XP for example: the user can set the default encoding for non-Unicode programs to be any language (under Regional and Language Options --- Advanced), but I can't figure out how to do the same in OS X.

Any suggestions?

Turns out there's no global way of doing this in OSX as in Windows. It has to be done on an application by application level --- and not all applications support changing the encoding.

what program are you using to view the text ?

Mac Os X supports non-unicode text but you'll need the proper fonts installed to view the same.

You can simply go to:

  • System Preferences > Language & Region > Apps

and then insert the specific application you use to open that document & specify the language setting.
