There are set of tickets describing problems with text documents loading:
#3065 [StyledEdit] Bad argument type passed to function
#6252 No UTF16 support in StyledEdit or Pe
#6447 StyledEdit doesn't check for valid utf-8
#7954 [StyledEdit] shows only small part of file
Documents in some encodings cannot be loaded at all. Current encoding
guessing in STXT translator was borrowed from BSD file tool and is not
perfect nowadays. From the other side latest version of ICU provides the
Character Set Detection support that can be wrapped by our Local Kit and
used in STXT translator for more complete support of encodings in Haiku.
PS: This is another post-GCI task that was unfortunately not claimed
during GCI 2012.
