Rainer Pichler closed PDFBOX-5212. ---------------------------------- Resolution: Invalid > Cannot create document containing certain characters in Symbol font > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-5212 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5212 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Bug > Components: PDModel > Affects Versions: 2.0.24 > Environment: Windows 10, Java 8 > Reporter: Rainer Pichler > Priority: Minor > > I try to generate a document using the Standard 14 Font PDType1Font.SYMBOL. > Using this font constant should neither result in embedding and nor require > the font on the document-generating system as each reader supplies a > compatible font > (https://pdfbox.apache.org/1.8/cookbook/workingwithfonts.html). > This initally works. But for verifying completeness, I wrote the attached a > sample code that contains all Symbol characters. > Several characters cannot be written (see attached output.txt). There are two > distinct error cases: > 1.) Characters not in the file glyphlist.txt, e.g. U+220D ('.notdef') is not > available in this font Symbol encoding: SymbolEncoding > 2.) Characters that are in the file glyphlist.txt but cannot be mapped to the > SymbolEncoding due to a missing entry or different name, e.g. U+0394 > ('Deltagreek') is not available in this font Symbol encoding: SymbolEncoding > In this case, the problem can be addressed by replacing the "wrong" mapping > by (0104, "Deltagreek") in SymbolEncoding. > As I understand, this approach should work as it translates the encoding via > the glyphlist.txt and SymbolEncoding. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@pdfbox.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@pdfbox.apache.org
