Characters other than basic Latin are shown wrong

[dg1727]

Using Xubuntu 11.04 on i686; man2html 1.6f+repack-1; Firefox 7.0.1

Install the 'extundelete' package, version 0.2.0-1, from Debian Sid. Then view the manpage using 'man2html', and in a terminal window.

At the end of the 'extundelete' manpage is the name of a maintainer who has some letters in his name that are not in the basic Latin alphabet. The attached file "actual vs expected.png" shows that these letters are displayed incorrectly by man2html, but they are displayed correctly in the terminal window.

'man' 2.5.9 and 'less' version 436 were used for the terminal output.

This bug was fixed in the package man2html - 1.6g-7

---------------
man2html (1.6g-7) unstable; urgency=low

  * utils.c: Fix querystring2argv() to create argv in case man2html and
    manwhatis scripts are run on http server (like lighttpd) that fails
    to do it by its own (closes: #729549, #630530, LP: #389582).
  * man2html.cron.weekly: set proper permissions for generated index
    file (closes: #729548).
  * manwhatis.c: Fix format string warnings (closes: #672821).
  * Refresh debian/patches with `gpb pq import; gbp pq export'.
  * Add 034-UTF8-charset.patch: set charset in `Content-type' header
    to UTF-8 (LP: #873102).
  * mansearch, utils.h: set `Content-type' charset to UTF-8 as well.
  * Switch build system to debhelper v9 and its tiny rules file:
    + make sure debian default CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and LDFLAGS are
      properly handled;
    + add support for cross-compiling;
    + ensure parallel builds work (closes: #653424);
    + enable LFS support (lintian).
  * Standards-Version: 3.9.5 (no changes).
