-----------------------------------
David,
Thank you for submitting this. I fixed the issue triggered by your file and a
few other variants that occurred to me. I wouldn't be surprised if we'll need
to make more modifications. Please submit any other issues you find. Thank
you, again.

> Key: TIKA-1001
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1001
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 1.2
> Reporter: david lemon
> Attachments: badarabic.html, TIKA-1001v1.tar.gz

> attached document extracts correctly in Tika 1.1
> attached document extracts incorrectly in tika 1.2.
> The difference appears to be that tika 1.1 honors the http meta content-type
> tag which specifies the charset as iso-8859-6, and correctly converts the
> output to UTF-8.
> tika 1.2 appears to ignore the charset specified in the meta tag.
> Some noodling seems to indicate that the problem is the charset.
> it doesn't matter what mode tika is used in (server, app mode, etc. even if
> content-type is specified with a charset, the output is still garbage).
