Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-3107:
-----------------------------------------
Stuff I found out:
- the "*" appears if the string also contains a "ß"
- the font has the symbolic flag. (why?) But changing the value to 32 (non
symbolic) doesn't improve anything.
This is done in TrueTypeEmbedder.createFontDescriptor(). In the
PDTrueTypeFontEmbedder constructor the opposite is done (earlier).

> I have an odd issue with the asterisk character not displaying properly in
> Adobe Reader (XI or DC)
> The "*" is displayed on the document as a hollow box, all other characters
> seem to be ok.
> I thought it was an issue with my code, so I gave it a try in the
> HelloWorldTTF.java example, and got the same results...with various different
> TTF fonts as well.
> Attached is the test.pdf output file, using the LiberationSans-Regular.ttf
> font and input message "1*1".
> It was created using a 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT that I built earlier this morning, but
> I also had the same results using the RC1 binaries.
