Hello,
What I do :
The following source test.puml :
@startuml
digraph dfd{
problem -> solution [label = "é"]
}
@enduml
Rendered, under windows with he command :
javaw -jar plantuml.jar -charset UTF-8 -tsvg test.puml
Notepad++ indicates my file is encoded in utf8.
What happen :
the generated svg is broken : the first line in the svg is not compliant with xml, it looks like a dot error message :
"Warning: Invalid 3-byte UTF8 found in input of graph dfd - treated as Latin-1. Perhaps "-Gcharset=latin1" is needed?"
Yet, after removing this line, the svg is correct, the content is also correct : the "é" is here.
Result is the same with png format.
Using :
dot is the dot embedded in plantuml version plantuml-1.2025.10 on Windows 11.
Further test :
I run similar test with a later dot version using
$env:GRAPHVIZ_DOT="C:\Dev\Outils\Graphviz\bin\dot.exe"
javaw -jar plantuml.jar -charset UTF-8 -tsvg test.puml
with the same result.
What I expect :
I think that if there is an error, no output should be generated at all, at least not an invalid output (a valid svg with the error message)
I think all the input is UTF8, so I think that there should be no error at all.
Regards,
PMZ
