latex testcase
attaching testcase as referenced in bug-description
I bet this is more a pdflatex fault than our fault, Acrobat Reader can not neither copy the text from that file. i guess you're right, so that bug should be closed although no solution in sight?
should i be adding another bug against kdvi ("@@a" in clipboard when selecting "ä")?
I would say yes. Hi, it is not pdflatex fault neither ;).
I fixed your testcase (thus I suggest to close this bug):
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
% for umlauts etc. you have to use the right font encoding
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
% comment this out to use the EC fonts ... but lmodern is usually
% that what you want
\usepackage{lmodern}
\begin{document}
this is a umlaut-test with ä and others like ü or ö.
\end{document}
So, can this bug be closed? It was never a kpdf bug. |
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.3) Installed from: Gentoo Packages i noticed that umlaut-containing words cannot be copy & pasted correctly from kpdf. fire up pdflatex with the "code" below (or if you don't have latex-unicode package convert it to latin1 and try that) and try to search for text "like ü" - it won't match. try copying a single umlaut, it'll say "Copy 4 letters to clipboard" in the dialog. pasting that into a texteditor will in fact screw up the umlaut into something like '"\n u' the same applies to dvi-files (within dvi-viewer), maybe i should be posting another bug for that? ctrl-c'ing umlaut-containing text results in a 10-second-frozen kpdf; text is screwed up in the way described above. i guess this applies to every pdf/dvi viewer in kde (okular, kpdf, kviewshell?) hope to see that fixed. ----testcase.latex---- \documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article} \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc} \begin{document} this is a umlaut-test with ä and others like ü or ö. \end{document}
