# Validation Report: Unicode, Math, and Code Support

**Date:** February 16, 2026  
**Version:** 0.1.0  
**Status:** ✅ All Tests Passed

## Addendum (Unicode glyph mapping fix)

- Root cause found for remaining garbled Unicode glyphs in rendered PDFs: non-ASCII text was emitted as Unicode code points while the embedded Type0/CIDFont path used `CIDToGIDMap /Identity`, which requires glyph IDs.
- Fix implemented: when embedded Unicode TrueType is active, non-ASCII text in Helvetica path is encoded as glyph IDs resolved via `ttf-parser`.
- ASCII text remains literal (`(...)`) to preserve existing extraction and roundtrip behavior.
- Regression tests added for glyph-ID emission, and full `cargo test` passes.

## Overview

This report documents the validation of new capabilities added to the PDF processing library:
- **Unicode support** (multiple scripts, special characters, emojis)
- **Math expression support** (inline and block math)
- **Code block support** (syntax highlighting for multiple languages)
