> attached document extracts correctly in Tika 1.1
> attached document extracts incorrectly in tika 1.2.
> The difference appears to be that tika 1.1 honors the http meta content-type tag which specifies the charset as iso-8859-6, and correctly converts the output to UTF-8.
> tika 1.2 appears to ignore the charset specified in the meta tag.
> Some noodling seems to indicate that the problem is the charset.
> it doesn't matter what mode tika is used in (server, app mode, etc. even if content-type is specified with a charset, the output is still garbage).
