[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-5094) Wrong glyph when rendering a symbolic TTF font with WinANSIEncoding

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5094?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17277753#comment-17277753 ] 

Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-5094:
--------------------------------------------

The current implementation uses the an internal font cmap for a symbolic font which maps the wrong glyph.

Excerpt of the spec (9.6.6.4 Encodings for TrueType Fonts)
{quote}If the font has a named Encoding entry of either MacRomanEncoding or WinAnsiEncoding, or if the font
 descriptor’s Nonsymbolic flag (see Table 123) is set, the conforming reader shall create a table that maps from
 character codes to glyph names:
 * If the Encoding entry is one of the names MacRomanEncoding or WinAnsiEncoding, the table shall be initialized
 with the mappings described in Annex D.{quote}

I've changed the implementation in {{org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDTrueTypeFont.codeToGID(int)}} and it works. But the described procedure was introduced in PDF 1.3 and I'm not sure if my changes have some unwanted effects if it comes to PDFs < 1.3. WDYT?

> The attached PDF uses a TTF font which isn't embedded. It's marked as symbolic but uses a WinANSIEncoding. Instead of the german umlaut "ü" another special character is rendered
