V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severity|normal |enhancement --- Comment #6 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> --- A PDF font library only holds the glyphs. Spacing of individual glyphs is encoded into the Text object streams, which we don't directly parse. Just the start position, size and text runs themselves. Much like your ask for bug 165396 it would require much more processing to parse each Text object stream and then to sum up the stream's glyph positions and then use that to detect and to distribute as the basis for intercharacter spacing in the resulting Draw text shape. Text object conversion now is simple, we read the text run and locate its position without concern if font use was as fixed or proportionaly spaced. Its mostly reliable now, with bidi and complex composite glyphs having occasional issue, but this would add too much complexity to what is suited to task now. IMHO => WF -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
