<GMT25-Aug-2003 01:50:10GMT> Darin Adler:
The code that maps a QTextCodec back to an encoding name doesn't take the flags
into account. It should. The effect of this is that you can end up with the
name of a Hebrew visual encoding when you meant logical or vice versa.

<GMT25-Aug-2003 01:52:44GMT> Darin Adler:
The fix to this is relatively simple; just take the flags into account when
doing the reverse mapping. An even better fix would be to change things so that
we use the encoding name from the incoming side on the outgoing side; the
QTextCodec could remember the name it was created with. Then we could remove
the reverse mapping altogether.

I've attached a first cut at a patch.
