example file

The file (attached) uses Arial and Arial,Bold, declared as CIDFonts, but not embedded in the document. Both use an Identity-H CMap. When using the Windows Arial TrueType font as a substitute by defining it in cidfmap the rendered result is incorrect.

cidfmap entry:

/Arial <<
/FileType /TrueType
/SubfontID 0
/Path (/windows/fonts/arial.ttf)
/CSI [(Identity) 0]
>> ;

/Arial,Bold <<
/FileType /TrueType
/SubfontID 0
/Path (/windows/fonts/arialbd.ttf)
/CSI [(Identity) 0]
>> ;

Oridinarily I would suspect that the font used to create the document was different from the substitute font, but Acrobat is able to display the document correctly using the same system font.
