Eugene Markovskyi commented on FOP-2540:
----------------------------------------
[~adelmelle] thank you for the research and proposal. It is a pity that the
changes are still not merged. I am trying to patch the current FOP version to
support fonts with Platform ID = 0 Unicode encoding. I added a small change -
it is just reading Platform ID = 0 encoding if others (Platform ID = 3) are not
provided. Tests show that FOP uses such encoding correctly. As I see your patch
contains much more changes. I tend to think that I was too optimistic when I
was applying such simple patch. But I assume your patch implemented supporting
of non unicode encodings also. Could you please give me a hint what changes
from your patch should be applied to support only Unicode(Platform ID = 0)
encoding? Thanks in advance.

> Key: FOP-2540
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2540
> Project: FOP
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: font/opentype
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Environment: OS X
> Reporter: Andreas L. Delmelle
> Assignee: Andreas L. Delmelle
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: FOP-2540.patch, test_osx_fonts_after_1.log,
> test_osx_fonts_before.log

>
> Currently, cmap tables in TTF/OTF are only supported for Platform ID = 3,
> i.e. MS Windows. There is no support for Platform ID = 0, i.e. basic Unicode,
> or 1, i.e. Macintosh.
> This makes quite some system fonts bundled with OS X supposedly unusable. The
> solution is fairly trivial (patch proposal will be attached shortly),
> provided the cmap table format in the font is already supported. FOP
> currently only has support for cmap format 4 (segment to delta mapping), but
> this seems to suffice for most of the Unicode cmaps as well.
> See also FOP-2539, which triggered me to investigate this closer.
