hi Jonathan,

The problem seems to be that in converting from text to glyphs (is that 
the right term?) the PDF converter assigns the wrong text to the glyphs. 
Thus 'This is the official version' becomes 'This his the offichial 
vershion.' It's pretty easy to see what's happened - instead of the 'Th' 
glyph being assigned the text 'Th' and the 'i' glyph the text 'i', the 
'Th' is assigned 'T' and 'i' is assigned 'hi'. Thus each subsequent 'i' 
gets the extra 'h'. Similar things happen with other multi-letter glyphs.

sounds plausible (and annoying).

I'm happy to take a look at the source for the problem but would really 
appreciated a helping hand with the architecture so I know what source 
to look in. I really don't know if this is an issue with libreoffice, 
with the graphite libraries or even the fonts, so I'm unsure just where 
to start.

i'm not familiar with PDF export, but the code is mostly in
vcl/source/gdi/pdf*.cxx.

happy hacking,
 michael
