Question

converting italicized text followed by a spacing character, plain text

When I convert this HTML code -

<tspan x="100" y="48">It <tspan font-style="italic">can</tspan> &thinsp;wait</tspan>

- to PDF using Acrobat DC Pro Version 2015.010.20056

on a Windows 7 machine, the italicized text ("can")

is converted to plain text.

The problem occurs whenever italicized text

is followed by "&thinsp;" followed by plain text.

[I add "&thinsp;" to make it appear that

the space between the italicized text and

the plain text on both sides of it is the

same. Without it, the italicized text

appears much closer to the plain text

on its right.]

If &thinsp;" follows italicized text

but is not itself followed by plain

text, it is properly converted.

The text itself is part of an image

created using svg version 1.1.

[I use svg because I want text

in images I create to be searchable.]

I do the conversion by printing the HTML

file to the Adobe printer.

How can I get the intended results - i.e.,

a PDF file including italicized text

followed by plain text spaced as intended?
