Delmelle commented on FOP-2539: -- Please attach a minimal FO file that reproduces the issue on your end for further analysis. The most usual suspect, based on the description, would be an encoding issue. That is: the actual encoding of the symbol characters in the XML FO file does not correspond to the one that is specified (= UTF-8, if not explicitly set). We cannot see whether that is the case here if you just copy-paste a fragment into the issue Description. > Apache PDF issue with Symbol.ttf > > > Key: FOP-2539 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2539 > Project: FOP > Issue Type: Bug >Affects Versions: 1.0 > Environment: Windox, unix >Reporter: Sushmitha > > I have Symbol.ttf, configured the same in config file.

Delmelle commented on FOP-2539: -- Having a go at adding support for the Macintosh/Roman table --which is fairly straightforward, since it is a simple 1-1 mapping-- I noticed that the situation there is very similar to the Windows/Symbol one, only there the codepoints for regular latin alphabet are _directly_ mapped to the symbol glyphs, i.e. without going via the 'private use area'. So, regular latin characters are also not supported in the Apple OTF implementation of the Symbol font. There are no glyphs "A", "b", etc. in that font. Since the code currently processes the Windows/Symbol mapping _only_ if there is no Windows/Unicode mapping available, that bit of code really does not do anything if the TTF contains both. Even if we were to process both mappings, then the one that happens to be processed first will take precedence, i.e. the code currently allows mapping _either_ codepoint U+03B1 _or_ codepoint U+0061 to glyph 'α', but not both, as is the case in both Windows and OS X when you type text in a text editor or word processor. To get back on topic for this particular issue: I still very much suspect this to be an encoding issue in the source file, maybe as the result of either copy-pasting text or reading from a stream with the default platform encoding. Notice that the user mentions both Windows and Unix as affected; if the default encoding on both platforms does not match, this is typically the result -- rule of thumb: *always* specify an explicit encoding when setting up Input/OutputStreamReaders. One could argue that Java makes it far too easy for novices to make mistakes here, leading to issues that can be a real pain to trace to their origin... ;) > Apache PDF issue with Symbol.ttf > > > Key: FOP-2539 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2539 > Project: FOP > Issue Type: Bug >Affects Versions: 1.0 > Environment: Windox, unix >Reporter: Sushmitha > Attachments: symbol_test.fo, symbol_test_2.fo > > > I have Symbol.ttf, configured the same in config file.

This is just a special "feature" of the Windows Symbol font which requires this non-standard behavior, when using characters in a Unicode range which actually aren't contained in the font. > Apache PDF issue with Symbol.ttf > > > Key: FOP-2539 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2539 > Project: FOP > Issue Type: Bug >Affects Versions: 1.0 > Environment: Windox, unix >Reporter: Sushmitha > > I have Symbol.ttf, configured the same in config file.

Support for Symbol (or other Symbol-Windows fonts like Wingdings etc.) was originally added by Jeremias in http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision=891181 Glenn then remove it in http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision=1328579 See also: https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50492#c7 The code fragment, Glenn had commented, was then re-introduced by: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision=1514076 (see OpenFont.java) see also: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2252 But the code fragment is in the wrong place, at least for making it work again for Symbol/Wingdings. If I remember correctly the characters of the Symbol/Wingdings font can be accessed via the code points in the private use area. So instead of using "a" you need to use

Delmelle commented on FOP-2539: -- Was trying to check what the behavior was when the TTF was used, but unfortunately, the Symbol.ttf file that comes with OS X cannot be processed: WARNING: Unable to load font file: file:/System/Library/Fonts/Symbol.ttf. Reason: java.io.IOException: The font does not have a Unicode cmap table: file:/System/Library/Fonts/Symbol.ttf Happens with quite a lot of TTFs and TTCs on OS X. Not an expert, so not sure what is wrong about those files that makes FOP's font library not able to process it. I mean: I obviously get that it cannot find a Unicode cmap table, but would have to familiarize myself with the format to know whether that is really an issue with the file, or whether it just points to a deficiency in FOP's font lib... ? > Apache PDF issue with Symbol.ttf > > > Key: FOP-2539 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2539 > Project: FOP > Issue Type: Bug >Affects Versions: 1.0 > Environment: Windox, unix >Reporter: Sushmitha > Attachments: symbol_test.fo, symbol_test_2.fo > > > I have Symbol.ttf, configured the same in config file.

Delmelle commented on FOP-2539: -- Interesting... I was thinking along the lines that, provided the font supports it, there are 'standard' Unicode codepoints for the specific characters mentioned here, i.e. GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA - U+03B1 (α) GREEK SMALL LETTER BETA - U+03B2 (β) GREEK SMALL LETTER GAMMA - U+03B3 (γ) etc. Must admit that I have not verified if those codepoints are supported by the Base14 Symbol font, though. If so, no need for mapping to any 'private use area' codepoints. Just make sure those symbols are encoded properly...? > Apache PDF issue with Symbol.ttf > > > Key: FOP-2539 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2539 > Project: FOP > Issue Type: Bug >Affects Versions: 1.0 > Environment: Windox, unix >Reporter: Sushmitha > > I have Symbol.ttf, configured the same in config file.
