The attached PDF-file shows the embedded fonts (on the right hand side in the tables) are not represented correctly. The letters do make not any sense at all. However, using an Acrobat Reader 6 or 7 the text is readable. The GS 8.54 version comes up with some warnings about a cmap that may be related to the problem
Created attachment 2737 [details] 005_ABC RDC.pdf If I "undef" the /Encoding in the pdf_font.ps, then the characters look OK. This is _NOT_ a fix, just an observation that this is related to the TTF Encoding (a continuing source of problems). In fact, this experimental patch produces warnings "Encoding not present.". The diff I used to test with was: *** lib/pdf_font.ps Fri Feb 2 17:15:44 2007 --- ./pdf_font.ps Mon Feb 5 10:33:02 2007 *************** *** 846,851 **** --- 846,852 ---- % Stack: filepos fontres cidfont } { % filepos fontres stream + 1 index /Encoding undef 1 index /FontDescriptor oget % filepos fontres stream fd /Flags get 4 and 0 ne % filepos fontres stream is_symbolic dup {
Possibly a dup of 689079.

I do not confirm that Adobe ignores Encoding. If I damage it in the document, Acrobat 7.0 throws errors.
