Ken Krugler commented on TIKA-331:
----------------------------------
I believe this is an issue for the PDF parser (PDFBox) that Tika "wraps".
Please check https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX to see if this is
already filed, and if not, refile it there.
> Windings font recognition in Tika parsing + spacing issue
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-331
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-331
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 0.4
> Environment: Windows XP / Java JDK 1.6.0_15
> Reporter: MRIT64
> Attachments: Parsing_Result1.txt, Parsing_Result2.txt, test1.pdf,
> test2.pdf
>
>
> I have PDF files that include some characters in Windings font.
> Tika parser replaces them with some Unicode characters that have nothing to
> do with the original, and, in some cases, replaces them with alphabetic
> characters (that is normal regarding these characters codes).
> Would it be possible to improve the parsing and remplace these characters
> with more accurate Unicode characters ?
> (see http://www.alanwood.net/demos/wingdings.html for possible
> correspondences).
> I will attach examples files when this issue will be created (would it be
> possible to attach files directly when creating issues ?)
