2 months ago So I tested this on the old FtP server, then did a lot of comparison on the verbose outputs to figure out what might be the difference. While many packages were missing from production, and I installed them, I don't know that made any difference.
What I did eventually notice is that the working/old server encodes the problematic text like so:
\underline{'tis well}
while the new one encodes it like this:
\ul{\textquotesingle tis well}
Changing our test file on the production server to be this encoding works -- a pdf is generated without the error.
We believe this is being done by pandoc.
Pandoc comparison on the new vs old server:
new/production (broken) server:
fromthepage@fromthepage:~$ pandoc --version pandoc 3.1.3 Features: -server +lua Scripting engine: Lua 5.4 User data directory: /home/fromthepage/.local/share/pandoc Copyright (C) 2006-2023 John MacFarlane.

Old (working) server:

There's a lot of differences.

CA State Library is experiencing errors exporting a facing page PDF. These only seem to happen on production, with the following transcription:

I have reproduced this on production, in this bulk export:

Here is the command-line replication of this problem:
