http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42109 Summary: [PATCH] ZWSP works as backspace when font is embedded Product: Fop Version: 1.0dev Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: pdf AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] When fonts are embedded in the PDF, zero-width spaces have a backspace effect: the text following the ZWSP is left-shifted by about one character's width, so it partly overprints the preceding text. At the end of a text area containing ZWSPs there's extra whitespace, up to the point where the text would have ended had it been rendered correctly. Observed with Times, Verdana and MSMincho, but not with Courier, and only if the font is embedded in the PDF file. It makes no difference whether the metrics file has an entry for ZWSP (8203d) or not. Attached are a FO and a PDF file demonstrating the effect. I also attach a patch that intercepts non-stretchable ZWSPs before they are written to the PDF stream. This doesn't address the cause of the problem so it's probably not the best solution, but at least it cures the disease. And there's no point in writing zero-dimension areas to the PDF anyway. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
