Bug ID: 445674
Summary: Okular: Typewriter cannot rendered non-Latin
characters. (but the annotation created by other PDF
reader can be rendered by Okular...)
Product: okular
Version: unspecified
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: PDF backend
Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org
Reporter: azazabc...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 143682
--> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=143682=edit
This single PDF file contains both annotations created/edited by Okular and
Xodo. They are rendered incorrectly in Okular, but can be rendered in Xodo
correctly.
SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.

(1.) In Typewriter input box, non-Latin characters can be entered though, but
will not be rendered in document. Cyrillic alphabets and Japanese Kanji &
Hiragana are all disappeared:

(2.) Even though set font with `Noto Sans CJK JP` (Which should include Latin,
Cyrillic, Greek, Japanese Kanji+Hiragana+Katakana), the characters still cannot
be showed:

(3.) The more interesting is, open the annotated file with another PDF reader
(Xodo for Android), the annotation created by Okular can be read & rendered
correctly:

(4.) The most interesting is, if:
(a) Create text annotation with some other proprietary PDF reader (for
example, Xodo PDF Reader). **OR**
(b) Process the Okular-annotated *.pdf file with `pdftk` (for example: `pdftk
okular-annotated.pdf cat 1 output pdftk-processed-okular-annotated.pdf`)
The non-Latin text annotations are visible in Okular.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
(In Okular)
1. Alt+5 to use Typewriter to create a text annotation.
2. Enter Latin & non-Latin characters into Typewriter.
3. The non-Latin characters will become invisible.
4. Save file.
(In Xodo PDF Reader)
5. Open the Okular-saved-file with Xodo PDF Reader,
(a) Create any text annotation, **OR**
(b) Edit the existed Typewriter annotations created by Okular
6. Save file.
(In Okular)
7. Open the Xodo-saved-file with Okular, the non-Latin annotations are rendered
CORRECTLY.
8. HOWEVER, if modifying these correct annotations via Okular, the non-Latin
characters will become invisible again...
OBSERVED RESULT
I tested with Xodo and `pdftk`, as long as the PDF files containing
Okular-created annotations are saved by them, all non-Latin characters are all
rendered correctly.
EXPECTED RESULTS
Okular can **create or edit** Typewriter annotation & display all non-Latin
characters.
