Bug ID: 334733
Summary: Okular txt backend chokes on unicode text
Classification: Unclassified
Product: okular
Version: 0.19.1
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org
Reporter: sergio.calleg...@gmail.com
This bug has been tagged for the general component of okular, but in fact has
to do with the txt backend that is not present in the drop down menu in the bug
tracker.
To reproduce
Make a text file with utf-8 encoding. Make sure that there is one character
with a two byte representation in it, say 'รจ'.
Trying to display the file content in okular, in the best scenario displays the
file with some weird gliphs in place of the two-byte char. In the worst case
displays a blank page.
In order to support txt files, I think that okular needs to be able to guess
the encoding first. Even better, when the txt backend is active, there should
be a way to explicitly instruct okular about the encoding to use (e.g. an extra
entry in the view menu), like all programs that need to deal with text files
(e.g. kate) typically do.
Reproducible: Always
