Do a dmesg on you NFS-server and see if you are seeing any hdd issues on 
the server.

[ilugd] PDF Urdu font problem

2009-04-09 Thread Raj Mathur
Hi,

Using the TCPDF component to generate PDF files from Urdu articles in a 
Joomla site.  With a fair amount of googling managed to get the Debian 
NafeesWebNaskh font embedded into the document.  However, the generated 
PDFs only display a few characters from the font, the rest are 
consistently displayed as blanks.

The characters are all here, because if you select and copy the PDF text 
(e.g. in Kpdf) and paste it into an editor it displays the complete 
Urdu text beautifully.

Would someone who has some experience with PDF be able to figure out 
what's wrong here?  Sample file (97K) is available at:

Regards,

If you use the same font to write something in a standard editor/word
processor and output it to PDF, does it render b0rked or as_expected ?

Interesting diagnostic!  Yes, if I paste the text from the PDF into OOo 
writer, convert all to Nafees font and generate a fresh PDF it looks 
just fine.

Maybe I should get Joomla to just use OOo to generate PDFs from pages 
(j/k :)
