Fellow devs,
Has anyone fought with charsets for fonts in ooxml? The following
issue has a file that uses the Symbol font which has a charset=02
(Symbol) charset. This rings a vague bell in hwpf. Do we have
handling for this in docx or is it fairly easy to port from hwpf (if
it exists there?)?
And of course, in the email below the characters have been modified
back to the underlying text, but they should be "alpha" "beta" "chi",
etc... see the screenshot on the issue
Thank you!
Best,
Tim

Tim Allison created TIKA-4015:
---------------------------------
Summary: Extract symbols as symbols from .docx
Key: TIKA-4015
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-4015
Project: Tika
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Tim Allison
Attachments: symbol.docx.zip
[~chetab] raised this issue on the user list.and supplied an example document.
The Font is symbol and the text should be: abcedefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
However, the text as literally stored in the docx and extracted by
Tika is: abcedefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
We may need to add processing for unicode mappings or the equivalent
in ooxml. I haven't seen this before. :P
