This issue seem to be related to bug#689956 and bug#689623. I was trying to view the document using the gswin32c -dSAFAER -dBATCH test_16.pdf command (test file is attached). The output log was: GPL Ghostscript 8.64 (2009-02-03) Copyright (C) 2009 Artifex Software, Inc. All rights reserved. This software comes with NO WARRANTY: see the file PUBLIC for details. Processing pages 1 through 1. Page 1 Can't find CID font "Arial-BoldMT". Substituting CID font /Adobe-Identity for /Arial-BoldMT, see doc/Use.htm#CIDFont Substitution. The substitute CID font "Adobe-Identity" is not provided either. Will exit with error.

Then I to defined a small dictionary: /tempfontsdict 1 dict def tempfontsdict begin /Arial-BoldMT (C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIALBD.TTF) def /Arial-ItalicMT (C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIALI.TTF) def /ArialMT (C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/arial.ttf) def /TimesNewRomanPSMT (C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/timesi.ttf) def End And changed the pdf_font.ps: dup /FontFile knownoget not { dup /FontFile2 knownoget not { dup /FontFile3 knownoget not { %//null + dup /FontName get + /tempFontName exch def + tempfontsdict tempFontName known { + dup /FontName get (Custom font change:) print == + tempfontsdict tempFontName get + /tempFontFile exch def + dup /FontFile3 << /F tempFontFile >> put + dup /FontFile3 get + } { + //null + } ifelse } if } if } if This solved the problem but doesn’t look like a good solution for the issue.
Created attachment 4971 [details] file which had an error
The file no longer fails with PS errors. New procedure of defining CIDFont substitution is described in doc/Use.htm#CIDFontSubstitution
