patch to poppler library
Hello,
I want to open this bug from gnome Evince users who asked the following thing:
distinguish ordinal characters during text search. Here are the characters:
0x207F=ⁿ,0x00AA=ª,0xBA=º,0xB9=¹,0xB2=²
,0xB3=³,0x2074=⁴,0x2075=⁵,0x2076=⁶,0x2077=⁷,0x2078=⁸,0x2079=⁹,..
Besides, these ones are considered like their standard numeric figure, for
example º=0, ª =a,
that work up false search result with too many characters.
This bug has been opened in gnome bugzilla (see bug #429985), this issue has
been veted and the conclusion of our search is the following:
These characters are replaced because of normalization compatibility
decomposition applying on characters strings in poppler library.
Here is the solution that i propose: exclude ordinal characters from NFKC
normalization as indicated in my patch.
Perhaps it could be better to create a fonction to exclude a character from
normalization process getting its unicode code point as a parameter. That would
allow easy configuration for poppler library users.
I hope it helps. Thanks for your excellent work,
Frederic
