Package: xpdf
Version: 3.03-8
Severity: normal

With xpdf 3.03-8 (but not previous versions), non-ASCII characters
(in UTF-8) appear as "?". I suppose that the problem comes from
the "fix" for bug 645903 (which I can't reproduce with xpdf 3.02-21
and 3.03-7).

The changed for bug 645903 consists in converting UTF-8 characters
into ISO-8859-1. I can't see how this can be correct on a fully
UTF-8 system.

BTW, the dependency on yudit installs too many packages. If some
charset conversion is needed (but it shouldn't be), it's probably
better to use iconv from libc-bin (which is required anyway).
