Hello,

After having converted a pdf file to html, all the UTF-8 characters such
as ● get bogus in the web browser, because the html file does not
advertise the character set encoding of the file. pdftohtml should add
this inside its <head>:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />

Hi,

This is added already in some occasions, but apparently not in frames
when doing the "complex HTML output".

Would it be possible to report this upstream?
https://bugs.freedesktop.org, product "poppler" and component "utils".

Thanks for your report,
