[CS3 - JS - Mac] Problem with encoding

Question

Hi,
I made a script that perform a lot of actions on ID.
Everytime this script performs an action it writes a line on a global variable and at the end of the script write this var into a text file ( in the Document folder).
Yes, it's a log file...
While I was testing this script through the Toolkit everything went right.
Then I added a menu action inside the script to call the script from the application and something strange happened, in the log file (wich is a text file UTF8 encoding) and also in the alerts ID shows. Both display text from this:
"È necessario effettuare una selezione" (running the script from the toolkit)
to this:
"È necessario effettuare una selezione" (running the script from ID menu)
So I think it's an encoding problem...
I just added this code:
#targetengine "Lele";
var Lele_menu = app.menus.item("Main").submenus.add("Lele");
//     Menu
var main_action = app.scriptMenuActions.add("Update");
var main_event_listener = main_action.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", function(){main();});
var main_menu = Lele_menu.menuItems.add(main_action);
//     Functions
What's the point?
Hope you understood.
Thanks!
Lele

I had problems with UTF encoding so I use this function to write the log file:
var log_file = new File(file_path);
log_file.encoding = "UTF8";
log_file.lineFeed = "unix";
log_file.open("w");
log_file.write("\uFEFF" + text_var);
log_file.close();
Where text_var is the log string.
When it's written form the ESTK everything is right, when called from the menu it isn't.
It's strange that it also involves alert text innit?
