Robust

Fonts & character encoding

supports WCAG 1.1.1 / 1.4.5

Automatic
deterministic fixer, re-verified

What the rule requires

When fonts aren’t embedded or character maps are broken, extracted text turns to garbage — copy-paste gibberish, screen readers announcing nonsense — and it’s invisible to the eye.

How Proof clears it

  1. Seventeen automatic repair passes cover embedding, character maps, and widths.
  2. Unembedded fonts get metric-compatible replacements, and character-map plumbing is regenerated so extracted text is faithful.
  3. Symbolic glyphs handled: symbolic checkbox glyphs are replaced with vector drawing.

What to expect

Every repair here is mechanical and invisible — the page looks the same; what changes is that validators, copy-paste, and assistive technology all read the same faithful text.
