test file
Hello,
After having converted a pdf file to html, all the UTF-8 characters such
as ● get bogus in the web browser, because the html file does not
advertise the character set encoding of the file. pdftohtml should add
this inside its <head>:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
Pino Toscano added on <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/722281">http://bugs.debian.org/722281</a> that “This is
added already in some occasions, but apparently not in frames when
doing the "complex HTML output".”
For instance, after converting <a href="http://brl.thefreecat.org/ghm13.pdf">http://brl.thefreecat.org/ghm13.pdf</a>
(also attached here), ghm13s.html does not contain any encoding.
