Title:
  Powerpoint with unicode characters makes OpenLP crash

Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The traceback below was reported on the support system. The problem is
  that if a PPT contains unicode characters we get into problems when we
  save the slide notes and titles to a text file, because python on
  windows defaults to encode in cp1252. The fix is to use utf-8 encoding
  when saving the text files.
