Package: info2www
Version: 1.2.2.9-24
Severity: normal
Dear info2www maintainers,
info2www outputs HTML 4 and does not specify "charset". Thus, Firefox
represents as default iso-8859-1 when it actually is UTF-8 encoded.
In Firefox, one has to manually choose
[Display -> Text encoding -> unicode]
for all the text to display properly.
Probably not the correct way to fix it but : my workaround as
attached patch.
Best regards,
