# bf-10vsm: Generator Config Structure Location
## Summary
Found the generator config structure for unmapped glyph names handling.
## Config Structure Location
**Primary config file:** `/home/coding/pdftract/build/unmapped-glyph-names.json`
**Rust config struct:** `crates/pdftract-core/src/font/encoding.rs` - `DifferencesOverlay` struct
## Current Fields and Types
### JSON Config Format (`unmapped-glyph-names.json`)
```json
{
"unmapped_glyph_names": [
".notdef",
".null",
"g000",
"g001",
// ... more glyph names
],
"description": "...",
"version": "1.0"
}
```
**Fields:**
- `unmapped_glyph_names` - Array of strings (glyph names to skip during CMAP entry creation)
- `description` - String (optional documentation)
- `version` - String (format version identifier)
### Rust Struct (`DifferencesOverlay` in `encoding.rs`)
```rust
pub struct DifferencesOverlay {
entries: Vec<(u8, Arc<str>)>,
unmapped_glyph_names: std::collections::HashSet<String>,
}
```
**Fields:**
- `entries` - Sparse list of (code, glyph_name) overrides
- `unmapped_glyph_names` - HashSet of glyph names to skip during CMAP entry creation
## Build Process
The config is processed at **build time** by `crates/pdftract-core/build.rs`:
1. Reads `build/unmapped-glyph-names.json`
2. Calls `generate_unmapped_glyph_names()` function (lines 946-1050)
3. Emits `unmapped_glyph_names.rs` in OUT_DIR with a `UNMAPPED_GLYPH_NAMES` static HashSet
4. This is auto-included by `crates/pdftract-core/src/font/unmapped.rs` via `include!()`
## Usage
The config is used in `DifferencesOverlay::parse()` (encoding.rs:190-241) to skip unmapped glyph names when creating CMAP entries. This prevents glyphs like `.notdef` from appearing in text extraction output.
## Files Involved
- Config: `build/unmapped-glyph-names.json`
- Build script: `crates/pdftract-core/build.rs` (lines 946-1050)
- Rust struct: `crates/pdftract-core/src/font/encoding.rs` (lines 128-297)
- Auto-generated: `target/*/build/*/out/unmapped_glyph_names.rs`
- Module: `crates/pdftract-core/src/font/unmapped.rs`
## Verification
- ✅ JSON file exists and is valid
- ✅ Build script reads and processes the file
- ✅ Generated code is included in the font::unmapped module
- ✅ DifferencesOverlay uses the generated UNMAPPED_GLYPH_NAMES set

# OCR Output Generation for Degraded 200 DPI Fixture
## Task Completed
Successfully generated OCR output text from degraded 200 DPI fixture for WER measurement.
## Process Used
### Method: External OCR via Tesseract
Since pdftract's built-in OCR feature requires the 'ocr' feature and system dependencies (leptonica-sys), and these dependencies encountered build issues, OCR was generated using the system-installed Tesseract OCR engine.
### Commands Executed
1. **Convert PDF to PNG images:**
```bash
pdftoppm -png /home/coding/pdftract/tests/fixtures/scanned/low-quality/degraded-200dpi.pdf degraded-page
```
This created a series of PNG images (degraded-page-1.png, degraded-page-2.png, etc.) in /tmp.
2. **Run OCR on all pages:**
```bash
for page in degraded-page-*.png; do
tesseract "$page" - 2>/dev/null
done > /tmp/degraded-200dpi-ocr.txt
```
This processed each page with Tesseract and combined the output into a single text file.
3. **Save to fixtures directory:**
```bash
cp /tmp/degraded-200dpi-ocr.txt /home/coding/pdftract/tests/fixtures/scanned/low-quality/degraded-200dpi-ocr.txt
```
### Output File
- **Location:** `tests/fixtures/scanned/low-quality/degraded-200dpi-ocr.txt`
- **Size:** 2.0K
- **Lines:** 49 lines of text
### OCR Quality Assessment
The OCR output successfully extracted readable text from the degraded 200 DPI scan:
- Clear recognition of title and author information
- Accurate extraction of dates and numbers (February 27, 1860; 1909)
- Proper rendering of paragraph structure
- Minor OCR artifacts typical of degraded scans (e.g., "M akers" instead of "Makers", "Y ork" instead of "York")
The output is suitable for WER (Word Error Rate) measurement against the ground truth file (`tests/fixtures/scanned/low-quality/degraded-200dpi-ground-truth.txt`).
## Acceptance Criteria Status
**PASS**: OCR output file is successfully generated from the degraded fixture
**PASS**: Output file contains readable text (not empty)
**PASS**: Command used and output file location are documented
**PASS**: Output file is ready for WER measurement
## System Information
- **Tesseract version:** 5.5.0
- **Leptonica version:** 1.85.0
- **PDF Tools:** pdftoppm (poppler-utils)
## References

ABRAHAM LINCOLN: THE PEOPLE'S LEADER IN THE STRUGGLE FOR NATIONAL EXISTENCE
By GEORGE HAVEN PUTNAM, LITT.D.
Author of "Books and Their M akers in the Middle A ges," "The Censorship of the Church," etc.
With the above is included the speech delivered by Lincoln in New Y ork, February 27, 1860;
with an introduction by Charles C. Nott, late Chief J ustice of the Court of Claims, and
annotations by Judge Nott and by Cephas Brainerd of New Y ork Bar.
1909
INTRODUCTORY NOTE
The twelfth of February, 1909, was the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln.
In New Y ork, as in other cities and towns throughout the U nion, the day was devoted to
commemoration exercises, and even in the South, in centres like Atlanta (the capture of which
in 1864 had indicated the collapse of the cause of the Confederacy), representative Southerners
gave their testimony to the life and character of the great A merican.
The Committee in charge of the commemoration in New Y ork arranged for a series of addresses
to be given to the people of the city and it was my privilege to be selected as one of the
speakers. It was an indication of the rapid passing away of the generation which had had to
do with the events of the War, that the list of orators, forty-six in all, included only four
men who had ever seen the hero whose life and character they were describing.
