Package: magicfilter Version: 1.2-58 Severity: normal It seems that magicfilter doesn't deal with files which are encoded in UTF-8. When I print a simple file consisting of the text "test Ã", the "Ã" is printed as two characters; i.e. it seems that magicfilter assumes the file is Latin-1 and interprets the 2-byte string as two characters instead of one. Supporting UTF-8 files which are basically Latin-1 should be easy because you could simply convert them with iconv, but it would be nice if magicfilter had full UTF-8 support for text files, so signs such as â (bullet) and â (heart) would be printed correctly.
Do you think that's possible? FWIW, I'm using ljet4m-filter but this shouldn't make any difference. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages magicfilter depends on: ii enscript 1.6.4-6 Converts ASCII text to Postscript, ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpaper1 [libpaperg] 1.1.14-3 Library for handling paper charact -- no debconf information -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/
