Bug#351952: cupsys: Incorrect default charset for French HTML pages
Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-15
Severity: minor
Tags: l10n
Hello,
The default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf uses nothing as the charset for HTML
pages. That is not consistent with localized HTML content using
non-ASCII charsets. As an example, the French HTML pages are written in
ISO-8859-1, which results in incorrect rendering on the web browser on
when UTF-8 is used.
I understand it would be impractical to specify a charset in cupsd.conf
since the "right" one would depend on the system locale. Simpler options
includes converting every HTML pages to UTF-8 and using UTF-8 as the
default charset, or specifying the correct charset within the <meta>
tags for each HTML document.
