I still see this problem in Okular 24.05.2 when trying to fill out forms using German umlauts (ä, ü, ö). *** Bug 475025 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 475884 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 505413 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This is the same issue I reported a couple months after you -> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476436 except in the file you linked, which I was able to retrieve via the waybackmachine as that link results in a 404, every text field is affected by this bug. I'm uploading the file I got from the waybackmachine as an attachment. Created attachment 184674 [details]
Document with form fields that don't accept special characters
*** Bug 476436 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The 'common case' has now been fixed in Poppler. The uncommon case has gotten better, but still isn't really good. What I describe as 'common case' is having diacritics and such from a single or a few related languages. What I describe as uncommon is having characters from very unrelated languages. Mixing e.g. japanese characters and french accents in same form field is an example of what I have put in the 'uncommon' description. Hi, assuming you solved it in this commit? https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/-/commit/ab1d04981127e0a146fb4f238af54d83a607f76a I installed poppler-git from the AUR and it improved the situation a little bit but didn't fix the issue. Referring to my comment in my duplicate of a bugreport -> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476436#c10 with poppler-git the characters in the "Anschrift" field are rendered correctly. However, in the "Kennzeichen" and "Datum, Unterschrift" the issue is persisting and no special character is rendered except for ø which is rendered as `ł`. In the file that is attached to this bug report I am unable to observe any change in behaviour to before.

Ignore this. I used a wrong package that didn't pull the latest changes. Sorry. |
