Package: graphviz
Version: 2.2.1-1sarge1
Severity: normal
Steps to reproduce:
1) cat > hello.dot << EOF
digraph g {
a -> b;
b [label="testiä"];
}
EOF
2) dot -Tsvg hello.dot > hello.svg
3) inkscape hello.svg
Expected results:
3) if step 2 completeled successfully "hello.svg" should be a valid SVG file
and inkscape should open it.
Actual results:
3) Inkscape fails to open the file and shows the following error:
hello.svg:17: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !
Bytes: 0xE4 0x3C 0x2F 0x74
<text text-anchor="middle" x="33" y="99">testiä</text>
First line of hello.svg is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
If I chage this to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="no"?>
then inkscape is able to open the file correctly. I suggest that
either
a) dot should only accept UTF-8 input and refuse to continue if it
reads something else,
b) dot should support specifying charset with a command line option,
or c) dot should support specifying both input and output charset and do
conversions between these (this might be overkill)
At least b) should be very easy to do with something like
