How can I generate a searchable PDF with mkiv, using a non standard font like MinionPro?
\definefontfeature [default] [default] [mode=node,script=latn,onum=yes] \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[minionpro]
\starttext fi ff ffi ffl 1234567890 \stoptext
Using pdftotext, I get this:
fi ff ffi ffl
Hi Oliver, it works for me with the beta 2011.01.12 and 2011.01.14 and poppler-0.14.5/ poppler-0.16.0. However, it turns out that pdftotext converts to fi ff ffi ffl 1234567890, splitting fi ligature while leaving ff, ffi and ffl intact, which is strange. I did not try with Adobe Reader but the pdf is searchable with Apple Preview and the pasted copy is still intact: fi ff ffi ffl 1234567890 Florian
