Here it is. I also did similar over at the WINE forum to see what they come up with on the printing issue. Seems to be a separate problem from the charset one.

Just for info, I copied some problematic text from TW to ActionTest, changed to default script as Sergey described, and all was good when I copied back to TW. Now I just need to figure out how to deal with SHIFTJIS_CHARSET. I know one place it comes from is LibreOffice; I have no clue how or why, but I've tracked it down to that application. They've got a bug going (44529) that I think is related and I've added my comments to it.

The reason I use LibreOffice as an intermediate step in copying is that it helps preserve the formatting of text. I create sermon notes in TW, then eventually post them online in a Wordpress blog. The only way I've found to not lose all formatting (font, size, bold/italics, indents, etc.) is to paste to LO, then to ScribeFire. The same is true when copying text into TW if it has some formatting. Just going from browser or other application to TW drops all the formatting.
