There's some code in src/output/cairo-fsm.c that must be the culprit,
but I still can't reproduce it,
even when I force this code to always execute by changing the if (...)
to if (true) :
else if (options & TAB_ROTATE || bb[H][1] != INT_MAX)
{
const char *text = ds_cstr (&body);
const char *decimal = text + strcspn (text, ".,");
if (decimal[0]
&& c_isdigit (decimal[1])
&& (decimal == text || !c_isdigit (decimal[-1])))
{
struct string tmp = DS_EMPTY_INITIALIZER;
ds_extend (&tmp, ds_length (&body) + 16);
markup_escape (&tmp, markup, text, decimal - text + 1);
ds_put_unichar (&tmp, 0x2060 /* U+2060 WORD JOINER */);
markup_escape (&tmp, markup, decimal + 1, -1);
ds_swap (&tmp, &body);
ds_destroy (&tmp);
}
}
I guess that, if you're using an old Windows build, maybe there was a
bug in PSPPIRE
that has been fixed since then (since I've done a *lot* of work on the
output engine
since October) but you haven't gotten the fix because there haven't
been any Windows
builds since then.
For Windows support, we really need a Windows developer.
