Jukka Zitting updated TIKA-965:
-------------------------------
Attachment: 0001-TIKA-965-Text-Detection-Fails-on-Mostly-Non-ASCII-UT.patch
The attached patch implements the above idea. It seems to work fine with the
UTF-8 demo in http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt,
though I don't know if we can include that file in Tika as a test case. Old
texts from China, Middle-East or other non-Latin areas of the world might be a
good source of copyright-free test data.
bq. Are we likely to run into similar issues with other encodings besides UTF-8?
Probably, though I think the best way to deal with them is case-by-case based
on concrete issues people face. AFAICT there's no generic solution to this
problem.
