Find and Replace chokes on Accent Aigu (and maybe others)

[joe_l]

I recently opened a PDF in APu, since the used Plus Jakarta Sans was not installed on my PC, I replaced it with another font. Unfortunately ligatures were messed up, resulting in characters like Á.

Not a problem I thought to change it with Find and Replace. To my surprise, I wasn't able to copy / paste the character into the Find field. All other characters gave no problems.

Maybe the now used font was the problem or the replacement from the original font. It was not. I made a new document, filled in some filler text and changed e to é, copied that character and pasted it into Find field. The first pasting attempt failed, but the second pasting attempt worked. This method did not work for PDF converted document.  🤔

Hi @joe_l,

Are you able to upload the PDF in question so we can take a look?

Hmm, should be no problem, nothing found on the website to speak against it. I converted the text to PDF with cairo 1.18.0.

Hi @joe_l,

This does appear to be a bug on Windows, since it works without issue on Mac for both Glyphs and Unicode. On Windows, while it works with Unicode, it fails with Glyphs...
