Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 9757
Opensymbol does not come out in legacy Adobe PDF driver
Last modified: 2003-03-11 17:57:49 UTC
making a PDF having opensymbol char will fail. The Acrobat Reader (And surely the othersPDF viewer too) will replace all the Opensymbol char by a square. The same happens when printing formula w/ vectors, the vector wont show up in the PDF. I think this issue also happens when printing to a PS file. PL. let me know if you're in trouble to reproduce this issue.
Possibly linked to Issue #4516. Please let me check that first before someone investigates this issue more in detail. I'll post the results in a few hours.
Doesnt seem related to Issue #4516 because 1. the proposed work around of issue $4516 (uninstalling-reinstalling OpenSymbol) doesnt do anything for this PDF issue. 2. The problem is still in the build 643C when using the true Adobe PDF driver, not the embedded PDF driver.
cp->mklein: Does OpenSymbol work in other applications (dtpad?) ? cp->ssa: Adobe pdf printer driver is one of your Lieblingsbaustellen, isn't it ? any ideas about this one ?

In Wordpad I got the following results: Under XP: - if I select the OpenSymbol Font and type normal chars as 'qwerty' then everything is fine, both at screen and in the PDF. - if I open the 'Character Map' of Windows I can select and past into the Wordpad document some special characters as mathematical symbols. In this case the characters will be displayed at the screen but will appear as square once printed in a PDF. (PDFWriter 5, PDFreader 5.0 and 4.0) - Noticed the same behavior for other fonts as the 'Narkisim' font. Under WInNT 4: - Litteraly all the chars of OpenSymbol are displayed as squares, whatever I tape or copy and paste from the char map, both at screen and in PDF. WInNT4 is supposed to handle correctly this kind of font. The Character Map shows me all the subset of this font. Note that most of the subsets also appear as square.
Created attachment 3949 [details] PDF showing the squares
Seems to be dependent on #i6815. The OpenSymbol font also shows problms on UNIX so it's a genral issue with the structure of that font.
Please have a look at OpenSymbol.
Double to issue 6815?
HDU->IH: Please don't use Fontographer anymore, because this causes all the trouble. PfaEdit@sourceforge.net is hopefully better.
IH: I will try to fix the CMAP tables with PfaEdit.
us->hi: I'll take over.
