Hello,

I am generating a PDF documents with use of Apache FOP where fonts are pasted to the document. I am getting an error "List of CIDs missing in CIDSet of embedded CID font" and I am curious. Since the cid is not found in the provided font how acrobat is able to find the correct character? I also run analyse which checks if all text in the file use embedded fonts and the result was fine.

Could you explain this behaviour?

What kind of problems may result from missing the cids?

Thank you for response.
