[kepler-users] UTF-8 Support

[Matthew Aguirre]

I am on windows.
As a test I altered the SimpleFileReader to open the file up 
specifically in UTF-8, which I believe worked.  However, when I did 
this, no text was displayed to the display actor in Kepler.  But I did 
have the output print out to stdout (even if it did just print a bunch 
of "?").

Also, if I have a default install of Kepler, how do I modify arguments 
to the JVM?
