at least for the CVE-2017-8054 a fix was posted on the Debian Bug Tracking
System a few days before Christmas ([1], also linked from above). @zyx:
Although the patch was generated for adding to the Debian package, it
should apply mostly cleanly also to the trunk, could you please give the
OK for it to be included (in the package, the maintainer requested it to be
forwarded here)? For the trunk, I'd like to discuss the error code to be
used because "page not found" seems rather non-specific (for the Debian
package probably the objective is compatibility to the original version's
error codes, so please say OK for that unchanged).

IMHO it'd be weird to have a full new release with known security bugs
in it, also copyright [2] (for which I recommend libunistring2) and
threading [3] problems ...
I'd love to be able to help with them (that is, I can try, but no
promises yet). Please let me have a go at them before the release.

Best regards, mabri

[Podofo-users] Unicode Problem

[Татьяна Кузина]

Hello. I`m trying to draw text at the PDF file like in CreationTest. But
only string "PoDoFo" is drawn. What am I doing wrong?

code:
void CreateUnicodeText( PdfPage* pPage, PdfDocument* document )
{
PdfPainter painter;
painter.SetPage( pPage );
PdfEncoding * encoding = new PdfIdentityEncoding( 0, 0x, true ) ;
PdfFont * pFont = document->CreateFont( "Arial Unicode MS", encoding);
pFont->SetFontSize( 30.0 );
painter.SetFont( pFont );
PdfString sJap(reinterpret_cast("「PoDoFo」は今から日本語も話せます。"));
painter.DrawText( 100.0, 700.0, sJap );
painter.FinishPage();
}

*Best regards*,
*Tatiana Kuzina.*
