Hello,

Trying to display document informations (with :info) for the attached file doesn't work : I have the bottom white bar displayed in the zathura window, but nothing is displayed on it.

The console gives the following error (in french, translation follows) :

$ zathura doc.pdf

(org.pwmt.zathura:49246): Gtk-WARNING **: 14:42:35.172: Failed to set text '<b>Créateur:</b> \xfe\xff
<b>Producteur:</b> \xfe\xff
<b>Date de création:</b> D:20200504133643+02'00'' from markup due to error parsing markup: Erreur à la ligne 2, caractère 2 : Codage UTF-8 non valide dans le nom — «  \xfe\xff
 » n’est pas valide

The translation would be : "Error on line 2, character 2 : invalid UTF-8 coding in the name — « \xfe\xff
» is not valid"

I create this issue as confidential, since this is a private letter, and I'm not the author.

Any idea on how it can be solved ?

Best regards,

I cannot reproduce the issue (even with LANG set to fr_FR.utf-8). Cannot you tell us a little bit more about your system? Which localee are you using? Is something else than fr_FR.utf-8?

Sorry for the lack of details ; I didn't know it would not be easy to reproduce.

I use Arch Linux 5.6.11 (freshly updated) on an HP Stream Notebook PC 13.

Zathura version :

$ zathura -v
zathura 0.4.5
girara 0.3.4 (runtime: 0.3.4)
(plugin) djvu (0.2.9) (/usr/lib/zathura/libdjvu.so)
(plugin) pdf-mupdf (0.3.5) (/usr/lib/zathura/libpdf-mupdf.so)

My locales :

$ locale -a
C
fr_FR.utf8
POSIX

$ locale
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

$ localectl list-locales
fr_FR.UTF-8

I'd be glad to provide more information if needed. Not sure what I could add for the moment, please ask me.

Thanx for the help !

Edit : I've deleted my zathurarc to be sure it wouldn't interfere ; the problem is the same (I only had very few custom settings, anyway).

moved from zathura#146

That's a bug in the mupdf plugin. The poppler plugin handles it correctly.

Indeed it is. I can confirm that the problem disappears with zathura-pdf-poppler. I should have tested this in the first place, sorry.
