Package: xmlto Version: 0.0.25-2 I discovered this problem while trying to typeset a Norwegian translation of the Free Culture book using docbook. The problem is that the bookinfo subtitle looses the Norwegian character ø disappears.
The following docbook fragment demonstrate the problem. <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?> <?xml-stylesheet href="docbook-css-0.4/driver.css" type="text/css" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd"; > <book id="index" lang="nb"> <bookinfo> <title>Book title</title> <subtitle>There is a missing letter here. The norwegian 'ø' (oslash), just disappears. The norwegian characters 'æ' (aelig), 'å' (aring), and the capital letters 'Ø', 'Æ' and 'Å' do show up.</subtitle> </bookinfo> <dedication> <title></title> <para>bla bla </para> </dedication> </book> When I generate a text version using 'LC_ALL=nb_NO.UTF-8 xmlto txt missing-subtitle-chars.xml', I end up with this output: Book title There is a missing letter here. The norwegian ' ' (oslash), just disappears. The norwegian characters 'æ' (aelig), 'å' (aring), and the capital letters 'Ø', 'Æ' and 'Å'. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ bla bla Notice how the ø is turned into a space in the text output.
