> UniversalCharsetDetector in 2.x is misidentifying windows-1250 as ISO-8859-1
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: TIKA-3479
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3479
> Project: Tika

> We've lost quite a few "common words" for Czech and Slovak text files in 2.x
> vs. 1.x. The key issue appears to be the following (which we do not have in
> 1.x).
> {noformat}
> /*
> * hex value 0x81, 0x8d, 0x8f, 0x90 don't exist in charset windows-1252.
> * If these value's count > 0, return true
> * */
> private Boolean hasNonexistentHexInCharsetWindows1252() {
> return (statistics.count(0x81) > 0 || statistics.count(0x8d) > 0 ||
> statistics.count(0x8f) > 0 || statistics.count(0x90) > 0 ||
> statistics.count(0x9d) > 0);
> }
> {noformat}
> The icu4j detector detects windows-1250 (not supported by the
> UniversalEncodingDetector), and the characters decoded with encoding do
> better on google. windows-1252 is _generally_ a better match for windows-1250
> than ISO-8859-1.
> Not sure how best to handle this...
