Look.
If there is a perfectly valid file out there that Allegro should load but doesn't, how is that not our responsibility to fix?

I'm not about to apply anything, someone else will have to do that or it'll have to wait until I get round to setting up my local Allegro sandbox to use git.
Apart from that, what type of "warning message" do you mean? There is a note in the patch I included, but that could be clearer/more verbose. Do you mean a message printed to the Allegro log file? A message printed to the terminal? The latter doesn't sound like a great idea to me.

Or the patch could be a bit better in checking whether the encoding it sets makes some sort of sense, for instance an encoding where the standard ANSI range is defined but nothing else.
