Description Volga 2018-11-10 07:12:25 UTC
Description:
This is similar to bug 104403, but for fonts with CBDT/sbix tables instead (https://docs.microsoft.com/zh-cn/typography/opentype/spec/cbdt https://docs.microsoft.com/zh-cn/typography/opentype/spec/sbix). This might be a trickier as instead of rendering layered glyphs with different colors we will need to render raster graphics. We already have decent raster image support, but LibreOffice doesn’t make use of it from a low level as text rendering in VCL. Since HarfBuzz got support in version 2.1.0, it’s possible to render color glyphs via accessing these tables.

@Khaled, for export to PDF does your c11 from bug 104403 against COLR/CPAL table fonts apply here as well?

"For PDF, we would need to call HarfBuzz to decompose the color glyph layers before writing them to the PDF, should be a couple of days work or so if someone is interested."

For bitmap format, HarfBuzz can give the PNG and then someone need to figure out how to embed it in the PDF file.

I think there are two keys to do, first, embed exposed raster image at its position within text, second, embed text string info into the raster image.

The model can be seen from this document, althrough the pages are filled by scanned image, I can still select and copy the content.

I was very exited to see this fix in 7.5. I've just installed it and I do see the emojis now, but they are shown as a grey shadow. No colors, nor lines, just a gray shadow.

I installed LibreOffice fresh Version: 7.5.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 50(Build:2) on Manjaro Linux.

Now printing of UTF-8 symbols and exporting of UTF-8 symbols to pdf works alright.

Thanks a lot, Matthias Wichterle.

Running on Debian's 7.5.7 here, emojis (in PDFs printed from Impress) are still broken. I only see a solid colour filled version of the emoji.
