Garbled text usually appears when Textmode cannot detect the document’s text encoding correctly. To narrow down or solve the problem, try the following:
The document may appear correctly if you open it using a different text encoding.
Adjusting the encoding priorities used for automatic detection may help reduce garbled text.
If you select “Refer to encoding declaration in document” in Format settings, Textmode also refers to encoding declarations written in the document, such as “encoding=” or “@charset,” during auto-detection. If the document contains a misleading declaration, it can cause the wrong encoding to be chosen.
If the file is not plain text, such as binary data, Textmode cannot display it correctly as text. Open the file in an app that supports its file type.
