Summary0016645: Text using alternate-form glyphs cannot be copied from PDF
DescriptionWhen a URL is included in a Scribus document, it is created as a clickable link in a PDF export. Where the URL includes a digit styled using an alternate form (eg as a lining figure), that character is used in the URL, rather than the "base" ASCII digit it is styled from. This causes the URL to fail.
Steps To ReproduceCreate a document containing a URL or email address using alternate form characters. Export the document to PDF. The embedded link in the PDF file will contain invalid characters.
Additional InformationLigatures in email addresses (for example, in the word "field") are handled correctly, although alternate figures are not. Small caps in URLs also produce the problem; a small-cap "http" isn't recognised as a URL.
