Follow-up Comment #5, bug #66143 (group groff):

I did some googling and it seems there is a poppler version of pdftotext
(probabely also pdfimages?), which _does_ support reading from stdin (who am I
telling this, you wrote the test :)) and a version from xpdfreader.com, which
does not (see [1,2]). 

Unfortunately, homebrew's xpdf installs the latter one.

But I found that there is a poppler package (conflicting with the xpdf
package). After installing that, all tests are passing:


============================================================================
Testsuite summary for GNU roff 1.23.0.1842-c9b3c
============================================================================
# TOTAL: 214
# PASS:  211
# SKIP:  0
# XFAIL: 3
# FAIL:  0
# XPASS: 0
# ERROR: 0
============================================================================


Hooray! :) Maybe, there could be a note somewhere (INSTALL.extra in the deps
section, or somewhere?) mentioning this for MacOS and homebrew users?

So, my only remaining real issue is this uchardet detection thing. I will dig
around there a bit too... any hint for me?
