Wkhtmltopdf: Soft hyphens (either as ­ or using the utf-8 codepoint itself) result in unknown glyph squares

Created on 20 May 2015  路  4Comments  路  Source: wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf

This was already pointed in #1722 but I can't reopen the issue. When using soft hyphens (the provided test uses the utf-8 code point but the issue arises also with ­) the character is replaced by a strange unknown character box (which may or may not be followed by the hyphen itself).

Attached are test files and the resulting output with the packaged wkhtmltopdf 12.2.1 for Centos 7 (wkhtmltopdf 0.12.2.1 (with patched qt)).

This normally happens if the character is not present in the font you are specifying. Make sure to have the necessary font packages installed.

Why does a non-displayed ­ (in the middle of a word, ...) need to be displayed? One installation that I had the problem with lately used webfonts.
