Hello list!

tiff2pdf from libtiff 3.6.1 does not seem to correctly encode non-ASCII characters in meta-data as author, title, keywords, etc., that are provided as commandline arguments. Vowels with accents (â, á, è), German umlauts (ä, Ä, ü, Ü, ö, Ö), etc. are all mapped to \377 which is displayed as Ÿ. Should I file this as a bug or has this already been fixed?

Best regards!
Peter.
