  • I spent a few days just this week pinning down a bug in PDF::API2 that prints some characters from Unicode strings (in this case, just the Polish character set) on top of each other.

    I nailed it. I just have to feed it back to its maintainers.

    I have not tried it with your character, I don't even have a clue as to what character set it fits in (something CJK, but that's it) and thus, what font I ought to use.

      Just stumbled over the same problem, using Croation characters. Do you have a patch/solution/workaround? If so, can you send it to me?

      • When is the last time that you updated PDF::API2? Because it is fixed in the latest release on CPAN (0.72).
        • Indeed. I first tried Debian's current package, which has $PDF::API2::VERSION set to 2.015, just like the current CPAN version, so I thought it's the current one. But Debian's libpdf-api2-perl is only based on 0.69.
