 Replying to [comment:8 ocean90]:
 > The attached PDF works for me on OSX 10.10 with Preview.app. Is this
 just an issue with umlauts? What about `ßñçeëuûé`?

 Confirmed, it is an issue with nearly all characters you mentioned. The
 normal "ß", "e" or "u" is fine, but all other characters are affected. And
 there are of course more.

 The screenshots from Caspar are showing that the problem is on Mac OS X
 10.10 too.

 It would be just one line with PHP 5.3 to fix it with normalize function
 (would fix every not pre-combined character), but I'm afraid we have to do
 this manually for PHP 5.2 and there are many combinations we would have to
 check. :(

 Furthermore I have forgotten the title. In the patch I just repair the
 content, but this problem could appear on every single input everywhere.

 Maybe this should be fixed by Apple and not by us?
