[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-1713) [PATCH] Bullet character not rendered

["Juraj Lonc (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1713?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14008683#comment-14008683 ] 

Juraj Lonc commented on PDFBOX-1713:
------------------------------------

Is this fix considered to be "permanent" or "temporary"?
I consider it ugly :(

That "bullet" character is properly defined in "/ToUnicode" mapping, and this mapping is ignored by pdfbox, IMHO.
I tried to explain "proper way" of handling this situation in PDFBOX-2093

Replacing all "unknown" characters to "bullet" is not a good idea, as there could be any unicode character in that /ToUnicode mapping

> See attached file. In WinAnsiEncoding, any unused code greater than 040 maps to the bullet character.
> The attached patch takes that into account to render characters that don't use the standard encoding for bullet.
