Summary | 0017436: Avoid custom font encodings when embedding TTF fonts in PDF | ||||
Description | Depending on the font, TTF fonts are embedded using an Identity-H encoding or a custom font ending. However custom font encodings cause sometimes unexpected behaviors on some RIPs. Given font programs evolution (more glyphs, PS glyph names removal, glyphs with unicode value >= 0xFFFF, ...), the number of TTF fonts which can be embedded using a custom encoding is also decreasing. Given this facts, stopping using custom encodings will provide several benefits: - more predictable behavior on broken rips : Identity-H encoding for TTF fonts is ubiquitous, so using it is likely less risky - using Identity-H will simplify the code by avoiding quite a few tests used to determine if using a custom encoding is possible | ||||
