Summary description: Utility functions for setting tounicode mappings for 7/8 bit fonts
Announcement text:
Utility functions in expl3 and 2e syntax for setting tounicode mappings for 7/8 bit fonts. Implements workarounds for limitations of LuaTeX.
Apologies: Unfortunately, the software behind our website is currently suffering from an elusive bug preventing it from importing the updates that have been made to the Catalogue’s source. This page can therefore not yet be seen: https://ctan.org/pkg/fixtounicode However, the package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/fixtounicode/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

fixtounicode – Utility functions for setting tounicode mappings for 7/8 bit fonts
This package provides utility functions in expl3 and LaTeX2ε syntax for setting tounicode mappings for 7/8 bit fonts. The package provides a unified interface which enables mappings for both pdfTeX and LuaTeX.
The aim is to make it easier to make legacy (text) symbol packages, which often use arbitary glyph names and encodings, accessible for the two engines currently capable of producing accessible PDFs.
The package provides a limited workaround for LuaTeX 1.22 and earlier, which make the provision of such mappings more challenging.
Full support requires pdfTeX or LuaTeX 1.24 or later.
