				Convert epub to TXT output encoding selection fails
			 
			
			Under Preferences -> Change Calibre behavior -> Output options -> TXT, I change the output encoding to 'ascii'. Then I convert a file (Harper Lee, Go Set a Watchman) to TXT. But I get what are probably unicode characters in the output, which are unreadable as ASCII: Quote: 
 Any suggestions? This is Calibre 1.24, 64-bit. I don't want to upgrade unless I know this works with newer versions, because I've done some complex plug-in installations. | |

			If you want to convert to ascii use utf-8 as the output encoding and use the transliterate unicode characters option in the look & feel section of the conversion dialog.
