Description zeniko 2009-07-16 14:36:17 UTC
This is due to the fact that FT_Set_Char_Size is called even for Type 3 fonts in 
pdf_unicode.c's extracttext.

Also: Font Differences in the /a65 form aren't recognized (/a65 standing for the 
ASCII 65 character 'A').

After we added a heuristic to pdf_lookupagl() to also look for "a%d" patterns the Type3 fonts generated by 
TeX & co become searchable.
