Package: abiword
Version: 3.0.5~dfsg-3.2
File: /usr/bin/abiword
Here we see that there is a bug in the pdf creator:
{ echo 哈哈 郵編123 哈哈; echo 郵編123;} > /tmp/n.txt
abiword --to=pdf /tmp/n.txt
When viewing the resultant pdf, one line is garbled.
But if I use
LC_ALL=C abiword --to=pdf /tmp/n.txt
then all worked fine.
OK, what was my
$ locale?
LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_PAPER="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
So sure, always use LC_ALL=C ... but some other characters still get
messed up. But I would have to send you my whole secret letter to
reproduce it. So just take my word for it.
And using LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8 didn't help.

Yes, pdffonts will show the fonts used.
I didn't see anything on the abiword man page about controling what fonts get
used.
