there are 4 places where you can change the charset for text files : 1. Workspace level (Window/Preferences -> General/Editors) 2. Project level (Project context menu -> Info) 3. Directory level (Directory context menu -> Info) 4. File level (File context menu -> Info) When synchronizing file with charset specified at 2.,3. or 4. level and when this charset is not same as the charset in the specified by 1., then the remote file in the CVS text compare is displayed in wrong charset - in the charset specified at 1. level. Example : Workspace charset : UTF-8 Project charset: WINDOWS-1250 In the CVS comparison dialog the local file is displayed in WINDOWS-1250 (correct), but remote file is displayed as UTF-8, but from data in WINDOWS-1250, which leads to mangled characters (wrong). I will provide some screenshots if needed. IMHO CVS comparison should take my charset selection into account - use charset specified for local file.
