# Unmapped Glyph Fixture Implementation Analysis

**Task:** Analyze unmapped glyph fixture requirements  
**Bead ID:** bf-ad2pp  
**Date:** 2026-07-03  
**Parent:** bf-5taa6

## Overview

This document summarizes the analysis of the unmapped glyph PDF fixture requirements and documents the implementation status.

## Design Documents Analyzed

### 1. Design Document (notes/bf-68f9i-design.md)

**Key findings:**
- **Fixture type:** Single-page PDF with Type1 font and custom encoding
- **Total glyphs:** 10 character codes (0-9) mapping to glyph names
- **Structure:** 6 indirect PDF objects (Catalog, Pages, Page, Content stream, Font, optional metadata)
- **Page size:** US Letter (612 x 792 pts)
- **Font:** Non-embedded Type1 with custom `/Differences` encoding array
- **Content:** 3 lines of text testing different glyph categories
- **No ToUnicode CMap:** Forces fallback to Level 2 (AGL lookup)

### 2. Glyph List Document (notes/bf-68f9i-glyphs.md)

**Unmapped glyphs identified (7 total):**

| Category | Glyph Names | Character Codes | Why Mapping Fails |
|----------|-------------|------------------|-------------------|
| PUA glyphs | `/g001`, `/g002`, `/g003` | 0, 1, 2 | Not in AGL, no algorithmic pattern |
| Custom encoding | `/CustomA`, `/CustomB` | 3, 4 | Not in AGL, don't match `uniXXXX`/`uXXXXXX` patterns |
| Orphaned code | `/NotAGlyph` | 5 | Not in AGL, no glyph definition in font |
| Non-AGL algorithmic | `/glyph_0041` | 6 | Invalid prefix `/glyph_` instead of `/uni` |

**Mapped glyphs identified (3 total for comparison):**

| Category | Glyph Names | Character Codes | Expected Output |
|----------|-------------|------------------|-----------------|
| Standard AGL | `/A`, `/B`, `/space` | 7, 8, 9 | U+0041, U+0042, U+0020 |

**Expected extraction output:**
```
���      (Line 1: 3 × U+FFFD)
����     (Line 2: 4 × U+FFFD)  
AB       (Line 3: "AB " from mapped glyphs)
```

## Implementation Decision

**Approach:** Dedicated generator implementation

**Status:** ✅ **ALREADY COMPLETE**

The fixture generator is already fully implemented and operational:
- **Generator file:** `xtask/src/bin/gen_unmapped_fixtures.rs`
- **Build command:** `cargo run --bin gen_unmapped_fixtures`
- **Integration:** xtask pattern for reproducible fixture generation

### Implementation Details

**Generator characteristics:**
- Uses `lopdf` crate for PDF construction (already in dependencies)
- Creates exact `/Differences` array as specified in design
- Generates 3-line content stream with proper hex encoding
- Produces valid xref table and trailer
- Creates both PDF and ground truth `.txt` file
- Uses `create_simple_page_with_font()` helper for consistency
- Error handling via `anyhow` crate with context

**Generated fixture location:**
```
tests/fixtures/encoding/unmapped-comprehensive.pdf
tests/fixtures/encoding/unmapped-comprehensive.txt
```

**Generator verification:**
- ✅ Builds successfully with `cargo build --bin gen_unmapped_fixtures`
- ✅ Runs without errors
- ✅ Produces valid PDF (756 bytes)
- ✅ Produces correct ground truth (27 bytes)
- ✅ Ground truth verified: 7 × U+FFFD + "AB " + newlines
- ✅ Follows design specification exactly

**Rationale for dedicated generator:**
- Clear separation of concerns - specific purpose fixture
- Easier to maintain and understand
- Can run independently without affecting other fixtures
- Matches pattern established by other specialized generators (gen_encoding_fixtures.rs)

## Summary

The unmapped glyph fixture requirements are **already fully implemented**. The design documents are comprehensive and the generator implements the specification exactly:

1. **7 unmapped glyphs** across 4 failure categories (PUA, custom, orphaned, non-AGL algorithmic)
2. **3 mapped glyphs** for success path verification (A, B, space)
3. **Type1 font** with custom encoding, no embedding
4. **3-line layout** testing Td positioning commands
5. **Expected diagnostic emission:** 7 × `GLYPH_UNMAPPED` + 3 × `GLYPH_RESOLVED`

The fixture is ready for use in testing the 4-level Unicode fallback chain and diagnostic emission behavior.
