Hi all,

I stumbled over an old problem on the solr mailing list:

http://solr.markmail.org/search/?q=forrest#query:forrest+page:1
+mid:ufocogvqrvrrg75c+state:results

To pin down the problem:
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/who.html shows Otis Gospodnetić
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/who.pdf shows Otis Gospodneti#

Have a look at http://forrest.apache.org/who.pdf there you will find
"Brian M. Dubé" which is perfectly preserved.

I guess it is because the different character set

It is rather because of the glyph repertoir in the font being used by the FOPNGSerializer - if there is no glyph for the requested character in the font, it will come out as #, a square, a question mark, or nothing (# in the case above).

and the solution
probably is the work that Sjur is currently conducting.

Yes :)

BTW the thread
is pointing out FOR-132, are they related?

I didn't know about that bug, but yes, that is it. I'll comment on that bug.

Has somebody a tip how I can fix it?

Use the latest SVN version of Forrest, and use the pdf plugin coming with the sources (not the one on the web). This will work for Skins- based sites, and basic pages will now also work in dispatcher-based sites (the dispatcher work isn't finished yet, but the seed-site front page renders fine in pdf at least).

I have documented the new features in the pdf plugin documentation, but last time I checked, it was not yet visible on the Forrest site. Perhaps we need to release a new version of the pdf plugin?

Best regards,
Sjur
