This issue is this line (line 135): $text =~ tr/\xA0\xAD/ /d;
This works great if your data is in a Unicode string. It also works
great if your data is a byte string using Latin-1. It works very poorly
if your UTF-8 data is in a byte string. In the example given in the
original bug report, -Mutf8 was not used, so the data is treated as a
series of (two) Latin-1 characters.
vauxhall ok % perl -MHTML::FormatText -Mutf8 -C6 -E 'print
HTML::FormatText->new->format_string("à")' |hd
00000000 c3 a0 0a |...|
00000003
vauxhall ok % perl -MHTML::FormatText -Mutf8 -E 'print
HTML::FormatText->new->format_string("à")' |hd
00000000 e0 0a |..|
00000002
I suspect the correct fix for this bug is documentation.
