So it makes some sense to have [(8)-77]TJ in the printed variant. Sadly the embedded font became Nimbus Mono PS, which has no cross symbol at 56, and "8" is drawn as digit. I could not yet discover the place where the [(8)-77]TJ gets formed. An obvious location to generate the stream is AnnotAppearanceBuilder::drawText, but I debugged it and it produces slightly different content q BT 0.13725 0.14901 0.15294 rg /ZaDb 11.00 Tf 1 0 0 1 2.43 1.55 Tm (8) Tj ET Q Maybe AnnotAppearanceBuilder::drawText is used, and there is some post processing that I'm not aware of? Michael, do you know? Anyway there seems to be a fundamental problem. All the Annotation classes dynamically generate in-memory appearance streams and may depend on in-memory resources. If we simply take this generated appearance streams and write them into a PDF file for printing, then dependent in-memory resources like the fake font are missing. We would have to write the resource objects to the PDF too, but that's not yet done. In your patch you prefer an existing zapf dingbats font over the in-memory fake font which works then. If we had a document with no zapf dingbat font and no CA defined, then GooString checkMark("3") will be used (see AnnotAppearanceBuilder::drawFormFieldButton) and we get the same bug again, is it?</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
