Support Requests item #4337, was opened at 2011-04-04 15:06 Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: MaxiM Basunov (mbasunov) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: Text inside lstlisting in generated PDF have extra spaces Category: None Group: None Resolution: None Initial Comment: Hello. In our documents we use lstlisting and PDF, generated with pdflatex, contains extra spaces between characters, so it makes PDF unuseful for copy-paste. Attached files produce following text when copied from PDF: a sdf l i s t i n g /home/ t e s t / t e s t 2 l i n e 2 \\ t e s t \bbb\ t e s t 2 Sample from other document: "1. exported resources configured" when copied to clipboard produce some missed characters: "1. exported resources congured." Please help to solve these issues. Can it be solved with my local settings? PS: Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick.
