Non unicode compatible characters disappear during pdf to image conversion

[ogencoglu]

Hi,

I have bunch of pdfs. All has scandinavian characters such as ä Ä ö å etc. While converting these to jpg by simply

Code: Select all

convert -density 400 K53.pdf test.jpg

in some of the output images these special characters are disappearing.

This problem is not present on my Windows machine but only on my ubuntu server. Both has IM 6.9.2-0 on it.

Any ideas?

Your unix server probably does not have those fonts on it or IM is unaware of their location.

But other letters are still there. For example "käsitellän" in the pdf becomes "k sitell n" in the image.

Prehaps, the font you seem to have is not a full UTF-8 compatible version of that font.

I copied all the fonts from my Windows machine to the unix server and installed them all. Still missing the scandinavian characters. Any workaround?

What do you get from

Code: Select all

convert -version

on both systems with regard to the delegates listed?

Are you missing either freetype or fontconfig?

And do you have the same Ghostscript version on both

Code: Select all

gs --version

I solved the problem by upgrading GS from 9.10 to 9.15. Thanks.
