Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Searchable PDFs from Graphite fonts

On the PDF file I generated with AOO, the Properties/Font returned:

LinuxLibertineG (Embedded Subset),
Type: TrueType,
Encoding: Built in

On the PDF file I generated with LibO, the Properties/Font returned:

LinuxLibertineG (Embedded Subset),
Type: TrueType,
Encoding: Built in

In other words, both PDF files are returning the same font, Linux Libertine 
G, but the one created with LibO will not find "official" on a word search, 
whereas the one created with AOO will. A copy and paste from the LibO/PDF 
file will produce the "offichial" spelling, but a copy and paste from the 
AOO/PDF file will produce "official."

Both of my files, whether created with LibO or AOO use the same font, Linux 
Libertine G. Again, I'm using AOO 3.4.1 and LibO 3.5.7.2 on Win7 and Adobe 
Reader.

And, most importantly, I don't even have Libertine O installed on my system, 
so AOO can't be picking it up.

I just sent you two files; an AOO odt, and an AOO generated PDF.

It is a font issue. I suspect that the non-problem with AOO that VA is
seeing is because AOO does not natively pick up the LO TTF Linux
Libertine G. It didn't even pick it up in ~/.fonts. Instead it will pick
up a Type 1 Linux Libertine O font. I figured this out by looking at the
PDF File|Properties|Font.

I ended up specifically installing the G fonts in AOO 3.5.0; _that_
allowed me to use G TTF instead of O Type 1. Now, when using the G TTF
font I experience the exact same issue as on LO. Moving the cursor from
the 'T' to the 'h' in 'This' causes the cursor to skip directly to 'i'.

Opening the TTF Linux Libertine G font in Fontforge generates these
warnings:

The following table(s) in the font have been ignored by FontForge
 Ignoring 'Feat' SIL Graphite layout feature table
 Ignoring 'Glat' Graphite glyph attribute table
 Ignoring 'Gloc' Graphite glyph location in Glat table
 Ignoring 'Silf' SIL Graphite rule table
 Ignoring 'Sill' (unspecified) SIL Graphite table
The glyph named Tcommaaccent is mapped to U+021A.
 But its name indicates it should be mapped to U+0162.
The glyph named tcommaaccent is mapped to U+021B.
 But its name indicates it should be mapped to U+0163.

I don't know enough about fonts to comment otherwise.
