Glad to hear that Alex. Perhaps I can tweak my code to restore Copy/Paste support in PDF; however, there may be some difficulty with bidirectional text due to reordering of glyphs, and with Indic text due to fine-grain reorderings and N-M char/glyph mappings.
Also, note that 'salt' and 'ss01' through 'ss20' should be off by default. I plan to add an extension mechanism to permit the author to enable optional features, which will handle this usage. Finally, be aware that I post patches to Temp_ComplexScripts irregularly. My day-to-day dev work, however, can be found in the following public GIT repo: git://github.com/skynavga/fop.git. G.
