Bug#422346: xpdf: utf-8 characters in pdf file name not correctly displayed in the window title bar
Package: xpdf-reader
Version: 3.01-9
Severity: normal
I'm using utf-8 locale and I've some pdf files with non-ascii characters in the
filename (such as
/tmp/ééé.pdf). When this file is opened with xpdf, the window title should be
the filename. But the
non-ascii characters are not correctly rendered ("Xpdf: ééé.pdf").
There is the same problem if I used directly the "-title" option to set the
window title. Others programs
are able to set utf-8 characters in the title window, so it should not a window
manager bug.

Hi. I am using ISO-8859-1 here, so I can't even tell if your email
rendered correctly. When I run
xpdf -title ééé
then the title is displayed just the same as the parameter. I am using
Metacity as my WM.
I tested with 3.02-1 (now in unstable) and also 3.01-9 (etch).
Can you try running xpdf.bin instead of xpdf? /usr/bin/xpdf is a shell
script which fiddles with locale settings, perhaps it is causing a
problem.
thanks
Hamish

I've retried using xpdf.bin and two different WMs (kde et gnome). The problem
is present in the two cases : "Xpdf: ééé.pdf" instead of "Xpdf: ééé.pdf"
