Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-3107: ----------------------------------------- It works with a small change in COSWriter. I'll commit it after researching what else needs to be escaped. Currently we only use hex if there are "negative" bytes. > Asterisk character not displaying properly in Adobe Reader > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-3107 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3107 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Bug > Components: FontBox > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Tilman Hausherr > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > Attachments: asterisk.pdf, helloworld.pdf, helloworld_good.pdf > > > From Matt B. in the user mailing list: > {quote} > 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. > {quote} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@pdfbox.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@pdfbox.apache.org
