Subject: uniencode: not utf-8 clean

Date: Sat, 06 Dec 2008 21:47:17 +0100

Package: filters
Version: 2.46
Severity: normal

Using 'uniencode' on beyond-ASCII text results in crippled output:

Great Example.

Grëät Ëxämplë.
-> Ԍrëät Ëхäⅿрⅼë.

The following patch fixes it for me, although I'm not sure about its
general applicability on legacy systems, for example.

Subject: most filters break UTF-8

Date: Sun, 9 Nov 2014 21:26:47 +0100

Meow!
Actually, most filters break UTF-8.  As I say any software that can't handle
Unicode should have no place in Debian, this is not tolerable especially in
a package as vital as "filters".

Francois, as you snatched "filters" first[1], can you fix them yourself, or
should I help with patches?


[1]. I'm not a DD so it's easier for you to upload stuff anyway.
