Bug#472988: (no subject)

[Daniel Dickinson <cshore@wightman.ca>]

Subject: html2ps: UTF-8 Web pages result in strange characters, recode to latin1 works
Package: html2ps
Version: 1.0b5-5
Severity: normal


I used wget to download a bunch of pages and then ran htmlps on the index.html.  This resulted in a strange characters in the output which made the output unusable.  Use 'find * -name '*.html' -print0 | xargs recode utf8..latin1' fixed things so it now works.  Since UTF-8 is now the default for Debian, this needs to be fixed.
