<h1>KCharsets Class Reference</h1>
<code>from PyKDE4.kdecore import *</code>
<p>
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>Charset font and encoder/decoder handling.
</p>
<p>
This is needed, because Qt's encoding name matching in
QTextCodec.codecForName matches only closely-related encoded names
but not alternate names, e.g. found in the reality of the Internet.
