This just became so ironic…
it’s a bitmap font repo readme where Windows installation instructions are just “install Arch”)
Renumbering characters during font minimization? I haven’t encountered that, it would break searching and copying.
Anyway, PDFs for example don’t even say whether a line of text is left, center or justified – they usually store the coordinates of the first character and then spacing to each subsequent one unless defined by the font.
And what if the document contains text boxes, or other Word objects? Well, the text is separate from the underlying rectangle (if there is one) and it’s up to the conversion tool to guess if it’s part of the main text layer.
Sorry, it’s really hard to edit PDFs. You might want to use Inkscape for editing the graphical parts. If you also need to edit paragraphs, I suggest recreating the document by pasting them into Word/LibreOffice, and importing any graphical shapes as SVGs (use Inkscape for the conversion, then you can try Word’s “Graphic > Convert to Shapes” feature).
Really, every software that outputs PDF should treat it as an export process, hopefully making it clearer that “saving as PDF” is visually lossless but structurally lossy and messy.
Ooh eeh, ooh aah ah, ting tang wallawalla bingbang
Here is a corrected transcript (mostly just added missing apostrophes). Feel free to correct the post.
Some wise advice circulating:
1. Don't use his name.
2. Remember this is a regime and he's not acting alone.
3. Do not argue with those who support him - it doesn't work and it makes them feel important. It makes them feel they've won something.
4. Focus on his policies. Do not focus on his personality traits, his physical appearance, or his mental state.
5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow.
6. No more helpless/hopeless talk. The numbers don't lie, there are more of 'us' than there are of them. Feel that support.
7. Support artists and the arts.
8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Fact check it.
9. Take care of yourselves.
10. Resist! Keep demonstrations peaceful. In the words of John Lennon, "When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system's game. The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight! Because once they've got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non-violence and humor."
11. When you post or talk about him, don't assign his actions to him, assign them to "The Republican Administration". This will have several effects: the legislators will either have to take responsibility for their association with him or stand up for what some of them don't like; he will not get the focus of attention he craves. His representatives will become very concerned about their re-elections.
