Hi,
thanks to the lrosenth for the help with my question about support for CID keyed Type1 fonts in PDF.
I will make sure that I read the ISO PDF spec - it is more clear.
Sadly, I have another question:
I have a valid CIDFont (consists of a readable PS part and also binary data which I believe is _parts_ of a CFF font program, not the whole program).
The readable PS part has info like byte offsets to CharStrings and also the table that maps CID values to font/glyph (CIDMap)
The FreeType library will render glyphs from this font.
The binary parts appear to be the CIDMap and CharStrings etc - but not the usual CFF header stuff - ie. just the bits you need.
My question: Am I right that you cant put such a CIDFont in a PDF file as an embedded font program (as part of a composite CIDFontType0) ?
From my reading of the spec, a composite font (Type0) in PDF references a CIDFont dict that doesn't have any of the info that the PS CIDFont contains (such as byte offsets to charstring data etc)
and so it needs the complete CFF program - specified as /FontFile3 in the font descriptor.
regards
JLM
