Wrong character encoding in Spanish (Maverick)

[David Saltares Márquez]

Binary package hint: doxygen

Doxygen gets the wrong character encoding in html files when selecting Spanish in Ubuntu 10.10. Details are described below:

Theese are some of the options in the Doxyfile:

DOXYFILE_ENCODING = UTF-8
OUTPUT_LANGUAGE = Spanish
INPUT_ENCODING = UTF-8

The html files declare to have the following encoding:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/xhtml;charset=UTF-8"/>

However, the characters are encoded with ISO-8859-1. The browser thinks the correct encoding is UTF-8 because the documents say so but it isn't. Special character such as 'á' or 'ñ' don't show correctly. When the browser encoding option is set to ISO-8859-1 the document is properly rendered.

This problem is solved in following releases of Doxygen but Ubuntu 10.10 hasn't got those updates.

I can confirm this bug on Maverick. With the version 1.7.3 (release date January 3th 2011) it is fixed (shipped with natty). Could this package backported to maverick? Thanks
