Hi Mirek,

Thanks! I see the PDF from Windows is OK now.

It seems that the multi character issue is different in Windows compared to Linux:

263A FE0F                                              ; fully-qualified     # ☺️ E0.6 smiling face
263A                                                   ; unqualified         # ☺ E0.6 smiling face

On Windows I see an empty character (space) following a small BW smiling face for the fully-qualified version above. This is possibly caused by the FE0F -code, as similar behavior can be found in many places of the file (emoji-test.txt). However, on Linux there is just the smiling face without any additional spaces for both variants. Another place where this causes issues is the subgroup keycap:

# subgroup: keycap
0023 FE0F 20E3                                         ; fully-qualified     # #️⃣ E0.6 keycap: #
0023 20E3                                              ; unqualified         # #⃣ E0.6 keycap: #
002A FE0F 20E3                                         ; fully-qualified     # *️⃣ E2.0 keycap: *
002A 20E3                                              ; unqualified         # *⃣ E2.0 keycap: *
0030 FE0F 20E3                                         ; fully-qualified     # 0️⃣ E0.6 keycap: 0
0030 20E3                                              ; unqualified         # 0⃣ E0.6 keycap: 0
0031 FE0F 20E3                                         ; fully-qualified     # 1️⃣ E0.6 keycap: 1
0031 20E3                                              ; unqualified         # 1⃣ E0.6 keycap: 1
0032 FE0F 20E3                                         ; fully-qualified     # 2️⃣ E0.6 keycap: 2
0032 20E3                                              ; unqualified         # 2⃣ E0.6 keycap: 2

On Linux Mint all of the characters fall into their correct places pretty well. However, on Windows there are slight alignment issues with unqualified variants and fully-qualified variants are completely off having a space between the character and the keycap box.

BTW: Just noticed that you can actually copy and paste the above unicode sequences directly to the UWord for testing. Smile

Best regards,

Tom
