[Issue 126883] New: PDF export: Invalid characters depending on
fonts
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126883
Issue ID: 126883
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: PDF export: Invalid characters depending on fonts
Product: General
Version: 4.1.2
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux 64-bit
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: ui
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: david.vogt@adfinis-sygroup.ch
Created attachment 85364
--> https://bz.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=85364&action=edit
Document for reproducing the issue
There is an issue with 4.1.2 on Linux, where apostrophes (') are rendered as
copyright signs (©) in the generated PDF output.
It seems to be related to font embedding. If it is activated, the problem
happens, if not, the PDF looks clean.
This only seems to happen with some fonts, but not others. I've successfully
reproduced this with the official AOO build on CentOS 6.7 with the "Helvetica"
font. Other fonts did not exhibit the problem however.
I'm attaching a test document as well as the generated PDF for reference.
This *could* be related to #125012, but I'm not 100% sure, so I'm creating a
new issue instead. Feel free to merge if it is indeed the same.

Hi all
I've just reproduced it on a plain CentOS 6.7 machine and RPM packages from
upstream to verify that no other influence causes the problem.
Reproduced as follows:
Preparations
============
1) Ensure Helvetica font is NOT installed
2) Install 4.1.1 packages (Source: [1])
3) Create test document with several test characters (' " ` ´), and set the
font deliberately to Helvetica (despite it not being installed)
Test case 1
===========
1) Export as PDF with default (no font embedding, no pdf/1a)
2) Export as PDF with font embedding
3) Export with pdf/1a
Test case 2
===========
1) Uninstall all 4.1.1 packages (yum remove openoffice-*)
2) Install 4.1.2 packages (Source: [2])
3) Repeat steps from test case 1 above
Results
=======
4.1.1 - defaults - all look good
4.1.1 - pdf1a - all look good
4.1.1 - font embedded - all look good
4.1.2 - defaults - all look good
4.1.2 - pdf1a - broken chars
4.1.2 - font embedded - broken chars
Please let me know if you need anything more to move this to "CONFIRMED" stage.

Hmm. It's strange.
I have installed AOO 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 both with the same printer settings.
In 4.1.1 it shows me Helvetica, Times and some other fonts as installed printer
fonts. But in 4.1.2 it does not. :-( (I verified it only in 4.1.1 ... Sorry.)
I must search for the reason. So I erase the regression.
But I see the problem: Why is there no warning for not installed fonts?
It is a long time wish of mine, that the font listbox shows me if a font is
installed or not (maybe with an other colour or a coloured background).

I was not able to reproduce this problem with 4.1.2 and Win7.
Are you sure that Helvetica font is installed on your CentOS?

I have tested this when unapplying change of
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1705192 this issue
disappears as well.
Change of revision 1705192 seems to have caused this regression.

It's also a little weird in this case because PDF's are expected to have a
soft-substitution for classes of fonts too. So there may be more going on in
how PDFs are being produced as well, or there is a settings error in the export
options.

I searched the changes between 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 and found this one that could be
the culprit:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1705192
I'll do some tests to verify this.

Are you saying you want AOO to give a warning that a document which is
specifying a font which is NOT installed on the user's system should tell the
user that the font used in the document is not available?

This MAY be possible but we would need to ascertain difficulty. Many
applications work in much this same way -- attempting to find the "closest"
match for a non-available font,.
In any case, there is an outdated, though still useful wiki page that delves
into this very issue. The page could use some updates. I think this situation
might apply to more platforms and not just *nix.

Confirmed with AOO 4.1.2 at Ubuntu 64bit.
The issue does not occur with AOO 4.1.1, so it is a regression.

Helvetica font is not free and not exit under Linux so, could you explain how
you have make?

Yes. The user expect the same visual result if one export the document as PDF
whether a font is embedded or not.
So there are 2 choices: AOO embeds the used available font with a warning or it
embeds nothing (and exports nothing) with the warning that the user should
disable embedding or reformat the document with available fonts.
But for the last point the user needs a visual hint that a used font is not
installed. (I have searched whether there exists an issue for that. But it
seems that I have sent this wish long time ago to StarDivision/Sun.)

I checked valid and invalid PDFs using pdffonts program. They differ in
encoding. Valid ones use Builtin encoding while invalid ones use WinAnsi one.
It seems I found the culprit.
