[jira] [Closed] (PDFBOX-1068) Odd looking question mark at end of every line in rendered text file

["Tilman Hausherr (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1068?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Tilman Hausherr closed PDFBOX-1068.
-----------------------------------

       Resolution: Duplicate
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 2.0.0)

Example of a sequence in that PDF:

{code}
/F3.0 1 Tf 
(import javax.imageio.metadata.*;) Tj 
/F3.1 1 Tf 
(!) Tj 
ET 
{code}

Tf = select font
TJ = show text
ET = end text object

So the "/F3.1" font has this exclamation mark. This is an embedded font that has only one glyph: 33, which is just that. According to my own 2.0 version, code 33 has a null path. In 1.8 it is tried to read the embedded font with awt; createFont() fails with a "FontFormatException: Font name not found", and plan B is to use an awt font, which shows us the "!".

In other words:
- 1.8 awt sometimes can't handle fonts correctly
- this is solved in 2.0 since PDFBOX-490 => duplicate
- the file really has a "!", try copy & paste in Acrobat Reader
