Some characters get corrupted when copy from PDF (created with apache fop) #182

When we generate PDFs with Apache fop the character “A” makes problems. When we copy the text from the PDF, the character “A” isn’t there. Its’s another unusable sign. test.pdf In our example the text in the PDF is: “AUTOR: äöüßÄÖÜ” When we copy and paste the text it is: “UTOR: äöüßÄÖÜ”

In our example we used source-sans-pro (regular), but the problem is the same in all the other fontstyles
