Package: eblook
Version: 1:1.6.1-13
Tags: patch

The eblook info documentation cannot be displayed properly in a UTF-8
locale. I have tried viewing it using

$ info eblook

at the command line, and in Emacs. In both cases, the characters are
garbled ("mojibake").

Both the .info files and the .texi sources are currently encoded in euc-jp.

According to the texinfo documentation
(https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/_0040documentencoding.html),
texinfo doesn't currently support euc-jp input.

I was able to fix the problem by reencoding eblook.texi as UTF-8
(using "iconv -f euc-jp -t utf-8"), and then adding "@documentencoding UTF-8"
to the texinfo header (see patch below).

Makeinfo writes the document encoding into the local variables section
of the info file, therefore the info-viewer should be able to display
the UTF-8 encoded .info file correctly in locales using euc-jp too
(untested).

Patch (to be applied after reencoding eblook.texi as UTF-8):
