#877 Parenteses causing corrupt text

[Mark Pemberton]

Getting junk data when attempting to print text within quotes. Tried freesans, freeserif, all seem to be affected. Times printed fine. Here's an example set of text that causes the junk to print:

"phonological disorder (ICD9: 315.39).  No known "

Attached is a snip of the PDF output.

Hoping this is enough info, but if not, please let me know what other details I can provide. I am using the latest code pulled through composer (which should be the latest).

The date stamp that I have running in production is "time": "2013-10-29 18:26:55" and that appears to be working, so some update between then and now must be causing an issue.

Thanks!

I am unable to reproduce your problem.
Please be sure you are using the latest TCPDF version and all files are updated.
Check also the encoding of your text to b sure that all characters are properly encoded in UTF-8.
Next time please provide a valid test case by modifying one of the existing examples.

Yep, sorry about that Nicola. Here's an example that should recreate the issue. I should have included this in my first post. I think justification is part of the issue.

    $pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);
    $pdf->AddPage();
    $pdf->SetFont('freeserif', '', 10);

    $text = 'Respond correctly to yes/no questions, follow one-step directions, and communicate using body language (not words). She also feels that asdf is cooperative, attentive, willing to try new activities.';
    $pdf->writeHTMLCell(180, 5, 15, 75, $text, 0, 0, false, true, 'J', false);

I have verified this issue, the fix will be released soon.

OK. Fixed in TCPDF 6.0.054.
Thank you for reporting this issue.
