Package: eblook Version: 1:1.6.1-13 Tags: patch The eblook info documentation cannot be displayed properly in a UTF-8 locale. I have tried viewing it using
$ info eblook at the command line, and in Emacs. In both cases, the characters are garbled ("mojibake"). Both the .info files and the .texi sources are currently encoded in euc-jp. According to the texinfo documentation (https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/_0040documentencoding.html), texinfo doesn't currently support euc-jp input. I was able to fix the problem by reencoding eblook.texi as UTF-8 (using "iconv -f euc-jp -t utf-8"), and then adding "@documentencoding UTF-8" to the texinfo header (see patch below). Makeinfo writes the document encoding into the local variables section of the info file, therefore the info-viewer should be able to display the UTF-8 encoded .info file correctly in locales using euc-jp too (untested).
