External Encoding (for Ruby 1.9) - shairontoledo/rghost GitHub Wiki
if you are experiencing any issue using encoding in ruby 1.9 you can set RGhost::Config::GS[:external_encoding]
(default is nil) before create a document.
Example
RGhost::Config::GS[:external_encoding]= 'ascii-8bit' doc = RGhost::Document.new
