You say it selects raw-text, but the screenshot you sent clearly shows
that Emacs was trying to use iso-latin-1-dos. In which case the
failure is easily understandable, but I don't immediately see where
did that value come from (it's most probably the default value of
buffer-file-coding-system for you, but since eww-display-pdf binds
coding-system-for-write, the question is why that value isn't being
used). Could you perhaps produce a backtrace from that situation?
For example, like this:
M-: (debug-on-entry 'select-safe-coding-system) RET
and then repeat the recipe.
In any case, this isn't right:
(defun eww-display-pdf ()
(let ((data (buffer-substring (point) (point-max))))
(pop-to-buffer-same-window (get-buffer-create "*eww pdf*"))
(let ((coding-system-for-write 'raw-text) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
(inhibit-read-only t))
(erase-buffer)
(insert data)
(mailcap-view-mime "application/pdf")))
(goto-char (point-min)))
We should use 'raw-text-unix here, since the buffer contents is a
stream of raw bytes.
