Description L. Peter Deutsch 2000-02-14 18:14:00 UTC
Originally reported by: lpd@users.sourceforge.net
Running ps2pdf12 on the file test1.ps produces a PDF on which Acrobat 3.x for Windows complains about not being able to find or create a particular TrueType font that is embedded in the PDF file.  However, Acrobat 3.x for other platforms, and Acrobat 4.x for all platforms, accepts the file.

This bug has been open for almost a year. Would a developer with Windows experience and with Acrobat 3.x for Windows please look into this? Thanks.

Reopening so we can close as 'WONTFIX'
Comment 4 Ray Johnston 2008-09-01 12:05:49 UTC
Closing as WONTFIX since Acrobat 3 is no longer available. There have been many
improvements with pdfwrite, and anyone experiencing a problem can specify:
