            Bug ID: 365654
           Summary: Search for character or string in a specific font or
                    style
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR

(I mainly have okular as a pdf viewer in mind.)

It would be useful to be able to search a text viewed for a specific character
or string in a specific font or font style. An example of what I would like to
do is find an italic ‘x’, not just any ‘x’. In my example the difference is
just style, upright vs. slanted/italic, but I am certainly also interested in
the capability of having the search procedure being able to take into account
differences in font.

This feature would be especially useful when trying to search a pdf for the
occurrence of a mathematical variable, which is usually denoted in a different
style or font.

Reproducible: Always
