             Bug #: 50138
           Summary: Large Indian Rupee Sign not recognized as text
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: carlosgc at gnome.org


Bug forwarded from Evince: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632365

"The attached PDF shows the new Indian Rupee Sign (₹) exported from Inkscape; 
with the smaller text at the bottom of the PDF it is possible to drag over and
select it for copy and paste.

However, neither "Select All", or dragging over the symbol itself highlights
the large symbol for copy-and-paste.

The large symbol is textual in nature (this can be confirmed by re-opening the
PDF in Inkscape, or using pdftohtml).

Ideally it would be possible to highlight and select all text in a document,
regardless of size.  In this case the document had been created specifically to
encourage people to copy-and-paste the correct symbol into their own
documents!"

Test case is attached to original bug report. I can confirm that pdftotext
doesn't include the first large symbol, and acroread allows to select and
copy/paste it.
