Description artifex 2009-03-20 09:05:52 UTC 
When converting the attached PostScript-file cjk.ps to PDF, a PDF-file is
generated, which is corrupt after the 5. page. The first 5 pages are ok, the 6th
page can not be viewed ( either with Ghostscript and AcrobatReader ). 

The PDF is generated with following command:
gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -o out.pdf cjk.ps

Comment 3 Ken Sharp 2009-03-30 07:18:58 UTC 
Looks like the pdfwrite CFF font writing code is writing garbage under some
conditions. Actually it looks like it often writes some rubbish (the name index
seems always to be broken for example), but it seems that this usually doesn't
matter. In this case it does.

I'm still working on the problem, trying to figure out what's wrong with our
existing code. This is likely to take a few more days yet to resolve.
