[cl-pdf-devel] pdf:draw-text question

[Dmitriy Ivanov]

Hello Peter,

| Is it by design that pdf:draw-text doesn't take care of escaping
| dangerous characters (such as #\( and #\))? It's easy enough to deal
| from outside, now that I know what the problem is, but I was
| surprised to discover garbage in my PDF output when I tried to
| (pdf:draw-text "(something").

Yes. In the version of CL-PDF of my own, draw-text does escape but show-text
and other functions in the show-... family do not. If that would publicly
accepted, I would speed up committing my new contribution code.
