Hi list

rendering a very easy formula with greek text in it produces a pdf-document
that has not  a valid utf-8 string.

I use evince for displaying pdfs under ubuntu linux. The document appears
correctly on the screen but stops printing after a greek letter in a
formula.

The error-report says:
Internal Error: cairo context error: input string not valid UTF-8

The same document compiled in live.contextgarden.net doesn't produce a
mistake and can be printed with evince.

I can still print the document correctly using 'lpr name.pdf', so it's not
a big problem for me. But I don't know if that could be a problem for
someone else.

Test-Document:

\starttext
$3\omega$
\stoptext

Tell me, what I can do to help.

Thanks
Christian

How are you compiling the document (mkii or mkiv) Can you attach the actual PDF as well (small attachments are allowed on the list).

contextgarden uses Mkii rather than Mkiv

Hi Aditya

I use Mkiv both standalone and live.contextgarden.net.

Document:
\starttext
$3v$
\stoptext

Output from contextgarden and standalone attached.

it's a 𝑣 i.e. a character with unicode 0x1D463 so it's probably a 
viewer/editor cut/paste issue

Hi Hans

I used texlive (2012) before standalone. There was never a problem. Same
editor, same viewer. With standalone there is a problem just for printing
from viewer "evince". I can print the very same document with lpr
(command-line) without problem. I don't think there is a real problem with
the pdf. "evince" manipulates somehow the pdf-document before sending to
printer. There the error occurs. Strange that the output from context in
texlive didn't have this problem.

Has the output-format changed since last year?

Thanks
Christian

Just some anecdote: I was working on a presentation style last week and 
was getting really weird results, with background elements shifting on 
the page randomly. I suspected that some update had brought changes in 
Metapost and tried on my laptop with a slightly older version, and 
everything was OK. Then I installed the latest version on the laptop and 
tried again - still OK. After two hours of fuzzing around, I finally 
understood that it was a problem with evince, not with the pdf - if I 
opened the same file with okular or Adobe Reader, everything was fine. 
So I wouldn't trust evince; looks like the clowns in charge of gnome 
have managed to break their pdf viewer as well.

Hmmm

Remind me: PDF stands for "Portable Document Format", or something else?

Yes, it is very curious, but unfortunately, pdf viewers behave very 
inconsistently, especially on linux. When you use something like shading 
or transparencies, you can have very nasty surprises. Though I must say 
that in my experience, okular has been quite good. Adobe Reader does 
some funny things with colors and makes fonts look too skinny, and 
evince has some bizarre problems.

cut and paste from viewers depends on

- documentproviding tounicode
- viewer dealing with unicode
- os copy buffer dealing with unicode / locales
- receiving (editor, mailer) dealing with unicode / locales

e.g. here

- acrobat copies the proper math italic v
- sumatrapdf copies nothing
- okular copies a v
- pdftotext output nothing

so .. who knows

Hans
