What you describe is hex representation of chars, as used for non ASCII
chars. The problem is that the current importer parse char one by one
instead of run by run, making multi-byte decoding (as described above)
impossible.
Perhaps should someone (I ?) modifu the importer to spool chars in a
buffer before decoding.
Please file a bug on this at least in bugzilla fi you are not
voluntering. Since I have to rewritte the RTF parser (or deeply modify
it), I may put this on my TODO list. But if it is not in bugzilla, I'll
forget it. If you want to implement this, go ahead. I'll cope with it.
