Nick Burch commented on TIKA-1080:
----------------------------------
Windows is bad for this. I strongly suspect you either have your terminal
configured with a different encoding to the default one given to Java (you'll
almost certainly want to be using UTF-8 for both), or you have your terminal
configured with a font that can't render arabic characters.
I've just tried with your file on Linux, where the terminal encoding and JVM
encoding are both set to UTF-8, and it renders just fine for me with --text
> Arabic characters under windows

> If tika is executed under windows the text mode (--text) is failing to
