Hi
I'm looking at using PoDoFo to generate PDFs for OCR results in
gImageReader. So far things are working pretty well, except for
occasional encoding troubles. I.e. one char giving me headaches is fi
(aka U+FB01).
Advertising
If I don't specify and PdfEncoding in document.CreateFont, that
character will not get printed. I noticed that if I use IdentityEncoding
instead, the character is printed correctly, but the char spacing is
wrong (i.e. spacing is about 150% the "normal" spacing). A small test
application which demostrates this is appended below.
So my question is: How should I setup the font and encoding for correct
results? I'll always be passing UTF-8 strings and it should also work
for non-latin alphabets. I'm using PoDoFo 0.9.4 on Fedora.
Many thanks for any pointers.
Sandro

painter.SetFont(document.CreateFont("Dejavu Sans", false, false,
false, PoDoFo::PdfEncodingFactory::GlobalIdentityEncodingInstance()));
painter.DrawText(10, 10, pdfString);
painter.SetFont(document.CreateFont("Dejavu Sans"));
painter.DrawText(10, 50, pdfString);
painter.FinishPage();
document.Close();
return 0;
}
