The pdf fails to render with Adobe Reader on Linux. Since it works on other viewers on Linux I had a quick look to see if there is anything we can do. The problem is the fonts are all non-embedded CID TrueType with Identity encoding. The fonts do have ToUnicode maps which I assume is what the other viewers are using to map character codes to a substitute font. When loading a substitute CID font, GfxCIDFont::getCodeToGIDMap() is called to map the character codes to the substitute font glyphs. At line 2252 we bail out if (getCollection()->cmp("Adobe-Identity") == 0) return NULL; I commented out this line and the PDF seems to render fine (as it is not in English a can't be 100% certain). I don't know if this is a fix or a hack. I have not spent any time investigating the implications of commenting out this line.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
