Hi all,

following a thread in ooo user list, longish, it starts from here:

http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=133169

In that thread the OP was trying to export a PDF from an OOo form using IPA fonts (International Phonetic Alphabet, for clarity).

A question was asked why the PDF exported combo box didn't show the correct character.

The following mail tells where the buggy PDF is posted:

http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=133454

The PDF found there shows the OP question.

I checked the OOo code and, though I'm not sure, in method PDFWriterImpl::createDefaultListBoxAppearance the font used seems Helvetica Regular.

My questions:
is that the right code involved?
If so, in combo box items only Helvetica font is used?

The IPA font is correctly embedded and is rendered on the rest of the PDF document.

My test carried out with OOo 2.0.4 and Acrobat Reader 7.0.8 on Linux.
