Hi,

The following problem happens with all PDFCreator versions up to 0.9.8:

When (at least in Word 2003) a degree sign is used, and a PDF is created from that doc with PDFCreator, an extra space is added further in the sentence. It depends on which character is used for the degree sign.

A reproduceable example in Word is:

At 360º the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.  [Alt0186]

At 360° the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.  [Alt248]

At 360° the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.  [Alt0176]

The Alt codes are used to create the degree sign characters in Word.

In the PDF this comes out as:

At 360º the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. [Alt0186]

At 360° the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy do g. [Alt248]

At 360° the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy do g. [Alt0176]

In the second and third case, the extra space is created in the word "dog". In the first case it does not happen, but Alt0186 is not a real degree sign. Officially it is a masculine ordinal indicator for the Portuguese language.

Could this be a bug in PDFCreator?
