I have a strange problem with PDFs made with Openoffice on Linux (Ubuntu 10.10). Wherever there is an en rule (the short dash used in a span of numbers: Unicode 2013), in the PDF it takes the shape of (or is replaced with) a dash (Unicode 2014), though it retains the spacing of the narrower character, so that the dash runs through the following character. Everything is fine in the original Openoffice document: it happens only when it’s exported as a PDF. And the result is the same whether I export directly from within Openoffice or print to file as Postscript and then create the PDF with ps2pdf.
Obviously the prime suspect would seem to be the font. So I tried with several different fonts, to discover that some do and some don’t. Then I tried the same fonts in different applications, such as Gedit, and the PDFs are all perfect, for all fonts. I wonder if anyone can offer any clues. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
