Package: xpdf-reader
Version: 3.02-1.1
Severity: normal

Hi,

The default output encoding of xpdf is Latin1, but that is almost never
fine with nowadays' debian UTF-8 desktop.  The default should just be
the current locale, i.e. xpdf should

- call setlocale(LC_ALL,"")
- use the value returned by nl_langinfo(CODESET)
- use iconv() for converting to the output encoding.
