Corruption of Arabic output due to Japanese bug fix
---------------------------------------------------
Key: PDFBOX-679
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-679
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.1.0
Reporter: Andreas Lehmkühler
The recent Japanese bug fix in org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDFont
defines a set of encoding names that are given special CJK treatment. This set
is too broad. For example, it stipulates that the 'Identity-H' encoding should
be processed as JIS.
We have Arabic PDFs where compound Arabic glyphs use the 'Identity-H' encoding.
In pdfBox 1.0.0 they used to output Arabic but now they output garbage, because
the Arabic unicode data is sent to the CJK converter.
I've copied that description from the users mailing list [1]
