Some fonts stopped working #37

Closed sciurius closed 2 years ago

sciurius commented 2 years ago

The attached program uses the Amiri font. I 100% sure it used to work in the past (I have PDF docs to prove it) but now I only get a blank page. Inspection shows that the font is embedded, the glyphs are emitted (I can copy them from the PDF) but nothing shows.

The Amiri font is installed from the Fedora repository. I tried PDF::API2 from git, and PDF::Builder from git.

Any clues?

Thanks. Of all possible solutions it seems that "instructing PDF::API2 not to subset" is most easily achieved.

Apparently, the Google Roboto fonts are also affected.
