Some multi-byte character encodings (such as Shift_JIS and GBK) have characters whose final bytes is an ASCII '\' (0x5c), and they will be displayed as funny-characters even if $fallback_encoding is correct. This is because `highlight` command always expects UTF-8 encoded strings from STDIN. $ echo 'my $v = "申";' | highlight --syntax perl | w3m -T text/html -dump my $v = "申"; $ echo 'my $v = "申";' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t Shift_JIS | highlight \ --syntax perl | iconv -f Shift_JIS -t UTF-8 | w3m -T text/html -dump iconv: (stdin):9:135: cannot convert my $v = " This patch prepare git blob objects to be encoded into UTF-8 before highlighting in the manner of `to_utf8` subroutine. --- gitweb/gitweb.perl | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/gitweb/gitweb.perl b/gitweb/gitweb.perl index 05d7910..2fddf75 100755 --- a/gitweb/gitweb.perl +++ b/gitweb/gitweb.perl @@ -3935,6 +3935,9 @@ sub run_highlighter { close $fd; open $fd, quote_command(git_cmd(), "cat-file", "blob", $hash)." | ". + quote_command($^X, '-CO', '-MEncode=decode,FB_DEFAULT', '-pse', + '$_ = decode($fe, $_, FB_DEFAULT) if !utf8::decode($_);', + '--', "-fe=$fallback_encoding")." | ". quote_command($highlight_bin).
