Dear PS Gurus,
I'm learning rearranged font with "Adobe CIDFont specification" and have a lot of questions. Now the first two are coming.
1. Can a rearranged font be embedded in a ps file as below:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
.......
<<build the font Times-Roman-ISO with ISOLatin1Encoding >>
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 Resource-Font
%%ADOResourceSubCategory: RearrangedFont
%%DocumentNeededResources: procset CIDInit
%%+ font Times-Roman-ISO
%%+ font Times-Roman
%%IncludeResource: procset CIDInit
%%BeginResource:Font Times-Roman-Super
%%Version: 1
/CIDInit /ProcSet findresource begin
%%ADOStartRearrangedFont
/Times-Roman-Super
[ /Times-Roman-ISO
/Times-Roman
] beginrearrangedfont
1 usefont
1 beginbfchar
<2D> <2D>
endbfchar
endrearrangedfont
end
%%EndResource
%%EOF
<<use the rearranged font>>
I tried to display such a file with GS, but got always the error message that /FontName is not defined.
2. Must the template font always be a CIDFont? I came to this idea since rearranged font is explained in the above-mentiond specification. The example I copied unter question 1 takes Times-Roman-ISO as the template font which is no CIDFont.
Many thanks in advance for any hints!
