Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-4951:
-----------------------------------------
Yeah, when opening the text file with Windows NOTEPAD it shows them like you
wish.
I'm wondering whether this is a similar thing like the combinations that one
can find with Thai or Indian languages. Some work was started (PDFBOX-4189) but
not finished.
Regardless if it is or not, this is tricky. One would have to remember the
combinations and then adjust the positions. This isn't the kind of change that
will come quickly.
An alternative would be to implement it on top of PDFBox, by using
{{showTextWithPositioning}}.

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Rendering
> Affects Versions: 2.0.21
> Reporter: Volker Kunert
> Priority: Major

> Accented Letters composed of Unicode base letter and combining accent are
> rendered wrong. E.g. with 0041 030B LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH COMBINING
> DOUBLE ACUTE ACCENT the accent appears at the right hand side of the letter
> A, not above the letter A.
> The position is wrong for most of the sequences defined in the following spec:
> DIN SPEC 91379: Characters in Unicode for the electronic processing of names
> and data
> exchange in Europe; with digital attachment

> The correct rendering should look like the output of hb-view 2.6.8, see files
> DIN_SPEC_91379_Sequences*.pdf.
> The output of PDFBox is appended in pdfbox.pdf, which is created by running
> TestPdfbox.java. The sequences are read from file
> DIN_SPEC_91379_Sequences.txt.
