Comment (by ryandesign):

 Replying to [comment:2 eric-j-ason]:
 > Anyway, should pdfjam (which uses "utf8") then be considered to be where
 the bug resides?

 I see you already submitted a fix to the developer and they accepted it
 and released a new version and you filed #68365 to update MacPorts pdfjam
 to this version.

 > Also, do you have any idea of how this problem has arisen now? The bug
 report #57886 is five years old, yet for me it must have stopped working
 only in the last few months or so.

 Looks like the code that started using `iconv` (with `utf8`) was
 [https://github.com/rrthomas/pdfjam/commit/90e7b8736fdb536fdbaca0eb1a2b9ea806dc6562
 added to pdfjam] in November 2021 but it was not included in a release
 until version 3.0.4 in May 2023.
 [changeset:c718c636b81b78a751c7b25a1c16d9ef2012ea1f/macports-ports
 MacPorts updated to this version] in August 2023 so you would not have
 seen the problem with pdfjam before then.
