> What is a "format4 table"
http://developer.apple.com/textfonts/TTRefMan/RM06/Chap6cmap.html
> and how do I change it to 3.0?
I just saw that it already has a 3.0 CMAP though, so this is no longer needed:
CMAP[0] pid=3, eid=0000, format=4 (the Windows specific CMAP subtable)
[00] U+F020..U+F041
[01] U+F042..U+F07E
[02] U+F080..U+F09F
[03] U+F0A0..U+F0A0
[04] U+F0A1..U+F0FF
CMAP[1] pid=1, eid=0000, format=4 (the "unicode" CMAP subtable)
[00] U+0000..U+001F
[01] U+0020..U+0041
[02] U+0042..U+007E
[03] U+007F..U+007F
[04] U+0080..U+00C9
[05] U+00CA..U+00CA
[06] U+00CB..U+00FF
And now we are getting at the root cause of the problem:
> As far as I can tell the font file simply maps the two sets to the same glyphs
that assumption is not correct for the second CMAP subtable, which is the
"unicode subtable" as
opposed to the first one the "windows specific symbol font subtable". Like
always OOo prefers the
universal cross platform standard (unicode) over any proprietary extension to a
perfectly fine standard.
And in this case the "unicode subtable" doesn't claim to support the U+F0xx
codepoints.
I don't know which application has an easy UI to allow changing the fonts so
that the unicode subtable
gets extended to the two_codepoints->one_glyph thingy. The application
"fontforge" is very good at
fixing fonts though, so I'd take a look there before trying anything else.
