Encoding bug

[NicolasFR]

Hello,

I have a problem encoding accented letters on alpine that I don't encounter on Ubuntu.
However, if I force the encoding to UTF-8, I have no more problems.

Do you have an idea about how to approach this issue ?

Hi!

Default encoding for web documents is Latin-1, not UTF-8. When you render a document from the web, HTTP gives WeasyPrint hints about the encoding, so it’ll work even if it’s UTF-8. But if you render a document from the disk, there’s no HTTP hint, it’ll use the default Latin-1 encoding.

If you want to force WeasyPrint to use UTF-8, then use the --encoding parameter, or set a charset meta tag in your HTML file.

Is there anything more we can do for you?
