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 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
