The Problem seems to be using outline. Whithout Outline it seems ok

Yep, the problem arise when outline is used in combination with shadow. Unfortunately that issue does not seem easy to fix. Possible hack : placing before line 4046 of pdflib_core.cpp the following line :

hl2.setEffects(hl2.effects() & (~ScStyle_Outline));

I gonna set target version for resolution to 1.3.6, but it's not sure we will be able to fix that issue in this version.

jghali: that's the solution I'd propose.

It also appears that some kind of overprint occurs. From the code the sequence is as follows:
1. fill shadow
2. stroke shadow
3. fill normal
4. stroke normal

But 3. doesnt seem to knock out 2.

Franz, what do you think about the failing knockout in this case?

The workaround has now been committed in 1.3.6svn and 1.5.0svn. Removing 1.3.6 target. The correct fix we'll be to add ability to subset OpenType fonts in other format than Type3 fonts so we can fill and stroke text directly like with other font formats without resorting to tricks.

Needs to be tested with CTL branch

The issue is basically fixed for simple CFF based OTF fonts as we can now subset those and produce a subset CFF font. However the issue still exists for CID-Keyed OTF fonts, often fonts used for Asian languages. Currently those fonts are still subset as Type 3 fonts.
