BOM in compiled CSS-file breaks styles

[hubrichsl]

Minified CSS breaks my styles.

My observations are:

• I enabled <outputStyle>compressed</outputStyle> for minifying the file .
• The encoding of the output CSS-file is UTF-8 with BOM .
• A \ufeff character appears in firebug, when checking the CSS-file. (This always happens for certain projects but not in every project.)
• Especially when font-family styles are the first ones in the file the \ufeff character will break the font-family style. - Removing this character in browser's dev-tools fixes it immediately.
• Manually changing the encoding to UTF-8 without BOM fixes it. But this is not possible in an automated deployment

What it should be: There should be no BOM in the resulting css file. It should be compressed.

When changing the default enconding to utf-8 without bom by default is not an option for you a configuration setting would be nice.

Thank you, Chris

Workaround for other people:

When this bug breaks a style using url() put another style before it, which does not use url();
