[pkg-php-pear] Bug#1056974: php-dompdf: Package lacks *.ufm files for fonts and can't produce PDFs with non Windows ANSI characters

[Paweł Pękala]

Package: php-dompdf
Version: 2.0.3+dfsg-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

php-dompdf don't provide font metrics *.ufm files for fonts it uses. Upstream
distribution files have them, but they aren't packaged by debian package.
These files are necessary for php-font-lib package to recognize them and to be
able to embed them in output PDF file as described here:

https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf/wiki/About-Fonts-and-Character-Encoding

Without embedded fonts non Windows ANSI characters are garbled and PDF file is
useless.

-- FIX --

After copying by hand mentioned files to /usr/share/php/dompdf/lib/fonts/ from
distribution file everything works as expected. Fonts are embedded in PDF file
and characters are displayed correctly.
