Summary0000235: 5.39 reports "Certificate" instead of "ASCII text" for the PHP project NEWS file
Descriptionfile 5.39 (but not 5.38) reports incorrectly "Certificate" instead of "ASCII text" for the NEWS file of the PHP tarballs (e.g. viewable at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/php/php-src/master/NEWS).

Probably that is related to an addition in 5.39 to the file magic/Magdir/der (handling DER encoded files).

Unfortunately I'm not able to analyze the reason but just for curiosity I created some one-liner files starting with the first line of the mentioned NEWS file and got the following results
Additional InformationUnfortunately I'm not able to analyze the reason but just for curiosity I created some one-liner files starting with the first line of the mentioned NEWS file and got the following results:

"Certificate":
PHP NEWS
PHP xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx NEWS
PHP xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
pHP xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
pHp xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"ASCII text":
PHA xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
php xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PHP xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PHP xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Unfortunately the text here seems not to use a monospaced font (e.g. the first two example lines have both 79 chars).
 
TagsNo tags attached.

I can't reproduce this with the version from HEAD.

Hmm, I just compiled the GitHub R/O master version and could reproduce the described behavior.

Perhaps I have expressed myself somewhat imprecisely, for tests with the attached file you have to put only one of the given lines into a test file.

But file 5.38 outputs for the NEWS file of the originally mentioned URL "UTF-8 Unicode text", but for the NEWS file of the last PHP 8.0.2 release (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/php/php-src/PHP-8.0.2/NEWS) the mentioned "ASCII text". But the current file 5.39 and the HEAD version output both "Certificate".

By the way my tests are done under Linux openSUSE Leap 15.2.
