Repeated characters about pdfkit HOT 12 CLOSED

Strange... It could have to do with the font you're using. Can you try it with a built in font like Helvetica and see if that resolves the issue?

Would it be possible to send me the source code you're having issues with? I might be able to see the problem better.

Thanks for the bug report!

Im changing the font to see if that fixes it. Sent you the source through github. Thanks.

Did changing the font help? Also: make sure you're running the most recent version of PDFKit. Thanks!

Yes, by changing the font to the built-in helvetica the problem disappears. But I NEED to have Arial font for the pdf. Is it a problem with the ttf file I have?

And, yes I have the latest PDFKit installed.

OK, good info. I'll look into it more.

I can't seem to reproduce the issue. Does the following reduced test case work properly for you?

doc = new PDFDocument();
doc.font('arial.ttf');
doc.text("Tel (787) 760-3000");
doc.write('out.pdf');

If so, can you reduce your code the largest amount possible while still maintaining the issue and send me that? It is hard to debug a problem with such a large piece of code. Thanks!

from pdfkit.

I tried the code above and didn't produce the error. And I tried reducing the code but the problem did not appear unless I left exactly as it is. If I remove code, problem disappears, if I add more code problem stays the same. If you have any questions about the code I can answer them.

This really has me stumped. Thanks for the great support!

Huh, you've got me stumped as well. So if you remove any code the problem goes away not just a particular part?

Any PDFKit code before the first dash appears. And if I insert a dash
before the first dash appears I get the situation I described above.

Kinda tired right now. I'll look at this again in the morning. Thanks again!

Tried rewriting my code. The problem appears once I have more than one page. Now it's repeating E, e.g. turns E into EE. I got the font files from a Windows machine, (which I replaced, just in case). Does this make any sense?

from pdfkit.

Any updates on this or did you find the problem?
