Gedit - how to set default encoding opening?

Question

I would like to somehow make Gedit on my sister's laptop to open text files in Windows1250 (CP1250-Winlatin2) encoding by default.

She has a plenty of ebooks in txt format and opening them in LibreOffice is not much comfortable.

I need to use Gedit or some similar GTK app, which is fully accessible by Orca Screenreader.

PS: running Vinux (based on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx) - more info here:

Answer 1

create executable script /usr/local/bin/geditwin

#!/bin/sh
gedit --encoding=WINDOWS-1250 "$@"

and set it as default text editor in gnome. (right click on any text file, open with, remember...)
