P e t e Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Hi Win 10: Publisher 1.7.1.404 PDF import seems to work fine except for a small square box in some of the text. This appears to be with Verdana font where lowercase 'f' is followed by lowercase 'i' ….. eg field, fight, identified The fi is using Verdana character code (hexadecimal) FB01 which is a single character combining the fi as a single character. The PDF import fails on this character and just displays a small square box. There might be a simple workaround, but I couldn't see anything. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenmcd Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 APub should be able to recognize the old legacy ligatures and properly import them. These ligatures have a standard Unicode code point. See Unicode Code Pages - UFB00.pdf (Alphabetic Presentation Forms). Most fonts are going to have some or all of these 7 (latin) ligatures. And some of the other languages too. While I can understand the difficulties of importing OpenType ligatures without a standard code point, these few which do have a standard code point should import properly.
