No mention of UTF fix

[ghost]

I get this message

incompatible character encodings: UTF-8 and IBM437

I have been over
#1205, #960, #836, #493, #248, #226, #201, #188, #135, #117

and I see the fix is

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

However I do not see this fix documented anywhere, it should be.

$ git clone https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll

$ grep -r -e LANG= -e LC_ALL= --exclude-dir .git jekyll | wc
      0       0       0

It looks like a better fix is to use the configuration

jekyllrb.com/docs/configuration

Example

encoding: utf-8

This only worked for me for Ruby 1.9.3. With Ruby 2.0.0 I had to use the CHCP workaround.

+1 for the encoding config option. solved it for me.

@XhmikosR Jekyll defaults to UTF-8 now, so these fixes should not be necessary anymore
