[xep-support] Bookmarks - Different Languages - Windows

[Alexander Peshkov]

Hello Detlef,

As I can deduce from your message you are generating PostScript with
XEP and then transform it into the PDF using some third party tool.
It may happen that this tools is responsible for the problem. What are
you using for PS to PDF distillation? What version of Acrobat Reader
are you using?
Note that bookmarks are produced using PDFDocEncoding and your may not
translate it properly into the output PDF. Note also that XEP utilize
it's own font configuration and has nothing to do with Windows
registry.

Best regards,
Alexander Peshkov                             mailto:peshkov at renderx.com

OD> Hello,

OD> I have a problem with the bookmarks in spanish PS/PDF files on Windows PCs. I think this problem exists also for another languages.

OD> For example the Word Index = Índice (see Index_es.gif). 

OD> PDF Bookmark:

OD>  Ä"ndice
 
OD>  [/Dest /Index
OD>  /Border [0 0 0 [0]]
OD>  /Title (Índice)
OD>  /OUT pdfmark

OD> PDF Content:

OD>  Índice

OD>  /Helvetica-Bold.1 20.0 selectfont
OD>  (\004) show
OD>  /Helvetica-Bold 20.0 selectfont
OD>  (ndice) show
 

OD> You can see in the content area there are character substitutions. Could I work also with character subtitutions in the bookmark area!?

OD> On Linux there are no problems. What have I to do under Windows?

OD> Changing the 'UNICODE_ANNOTATIONS' makes no differnces. Maybe I have to change the entries for [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes] in the Registry!?

OD> Maybe the solution is quite simple!?
 
OD> By the way I am using XEP 3.7.1.

OD> Thanks in advanced,
