Latex for mac os x 10.4.111/6/2023 ![]() sib file I get a different wrong result, as I attached before. That's sort of reasonable, since the EPS tries to use the "?" character from an embedded font that doesn't have that character defined. Like Andrew I can't produce a PDF file from the incorrect EPS (using PDF995). In any case, they are just checks of which line you are on in a list of 255 itemĪs I said in the first post, I already have a workround (edit the EPS) that's good enough to get the job done. Posted by Andrew Moschou - 06 Feb 02:05AM (edited 06 Feb 02:08AM)Īnything after "%" on each line is a comment, so those "mac artefacts" don't affect the issue. I might hazard a guess about what's going on here but I don't really know so I won't :^) I've passed the point at which I can offer useful help with this, but I thought I'd mention that part of the eps file is a list of the Sibelius Latin Encoding, including some (from % Mac 128–255) with these suspicious Mac artefacts here's a selection. I remember there have been a few posts here about missing characters in EPS and/or PDF files - I wonder if this bug has other effects.Ĭlearly the workround for me is a quick edit to the EPS file! ![]() (\322Re\337ections\323) 0 1921 5518 142 /TimesNewRomanPSMT-SibeliusEncoding TextBegin TextEnd (\322Re?ections\323) 0 1921 5518 142 /TimesNewRomanPSMT-SibeliusEncoding TextBegin TextEnd To be explicit, the relevant bit of the EPS from Sibelius file says Other special characters like "curly quotes" are being handled correctly. According to the encoding table in the EPS file it should be character 337 (octal). But the "fl" character in the STRING is then incorrectly coded as "character 63" which is a question mark. The "fl" character glyph is stored in location 63 in the embedded font - and that's not a very interesting fact, on its own. Do File > Export > Graphics, EPS file, embed fonts, no TIFF preview. ![]() The attached score (of Zen-like minimalism) shows the problem. (It looks prettier than the two separate characters, at a large size.) There seems to be someting wrong with the logic of character encoding and/or embedded font generation. I found this, trying to use the "fl" ligature character in the title of a piece.
