[Z7 Beta] Characters wrongly display in reference preview

edited June 4, 2024
Hi all,
while reading this paper (OA, https://doi.org/10.1017/apa.2023.6) I've stumbled upon the following problem.

In the reference preview pop-up, references appear like this:

The reference is correctly displayed in the References section:

It looks like some kind of font/character encoding problem.
  • It seems to be a problem with the numbers in this specific PDF; copying them in Firefox's pdf.js also only displays them as boxes.

    That’s a font issue in the font used in the pdf. The glyphs for the (so called) text figures don’t identify themselves correctly as the numbers zero to nine. Therefore the pdf-viewer will show the correct glyph outlines but whenever it renders the text in a different font it will only show the code points where the glyphs sit as it doesn’t know that it has to map them to anything else.
