Hello,
LC 8.1.6 and 8.1.7 on Windows:
I create PDFs with "open printing to pdf myFile.pdf". That works fine
as far
the filename doesn't contains Umlaute.
If the filename contains Umlaute 2 PDF files are created (yes 2
files!). The
first file has the correct filename with Umlaute, but 0 KB. The second
file
has a filename without the Umlaut (no strange replacement char, just
one
char less) and the correct content. When debugging, the filename within
LC
looks correct with Umlaut. When printing a PDF without Umlaute in the
filename, everything works fine.
I didn't found any bug in the QC, or am I the first one, using printing
to
pdf with European characters? Is there a workaround, anything with
Unicode
conversion for the filename?
If you could file a bug, that would be great.
On Windows, the PDFPrinter has to do a little dance with files so that
it passes a file that cairo will open correctly... However, it sounds
like in your case (perhaps due to WIndows version, or formatting of the
target drive) that the dance is not working correctly.
We'll need to patch cairo a little to get this to work correctly I
suspect.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
P.S. For now, if you output the PDF to a temp file in the same folder,
then 'rename' then all should be well.
