LibTiff Mailing List

Hello list!

tiff2pdf from libtiff 3.6.1 does not seem to correctly encode non-ASCII
characters in meta-data as author, title, keywords, etc., that are
provided as commandline arguments. Vowels with accents (â, á, è), German
umlauts (ä, Ä, ü, Ü, ö, Ö), etc. are all mapped to \377 which is
displayed as ¾. Should I file this as a bug or has this already been fixed?

Best regards!
Peter.
