John Hewson reassigned PDFBOX-2327:
-----------------------------------
Assignee: John Hewson
> Glyph list ligatures are decomposed too early
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-2327
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2327
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: PDModel
> Reporter: John Hewson
> Assignee: John Hewson
> Priority: Minor
>
> The following code in GlyphList was moved from the Encoding class:
> {code}
> DEFAULT.nameToUnicode.put("fi", "fi");
> DEFAULT.nameToUnicode.put("fl", "fl");
> DEFAULT.nameToUnicode.put("ffi", "ffi");
> DEFAULT.nameToUnicode.put("ff", "ff");
> DEFAULT.nameToUnicode.put("pi", "pi");
> {code}
> Which overrides the Adobe Glyph List (AGL) entries for certain ligature
> characters, replacing them with their decomposition. This is used by
> TextStripper so that it may output decomposed ligatures. However, it breaks
> the glyph list because the entires have been overwritten with values which
> are not in the AGL.
> If TextStripper wants decomposed ligatures it can perform a Unicode
> compatibility decomposition on the output strings, alternatively it can
> implement this simple lookup itself, where it won't adversely impact the rest
> of PDFBox.
