---------------------------------------------------
Just switched back to iText adding the same text with the very same font and
the error does not occur. => problem in PDFBox embedding fonts. This only
occurs with this "LucidaSansUnicode" font - all our other custom fonts don't
cause this problem.
The difference I notice in Acrobat Reader Fonts tab is the first font entry:
PDFBox 1.4.0:
LucidaSansUnicode (Eingebettet)
Typ: TrueType
Kodierung: Ansi
iText 2.1.7:
LucidaSansUnicode (Eingebettete Untergruppe)
Typ: TrueType
Kodierung: Ansi
So, PDFBox only shows "embedded" ("Eingebettet") but iText version shows
"embedded subgroup" ("Eingebettete UNtergruppe")!

> We have a problem with the font 'LucidiaSansUnicode (l_10646.ttf). It is

> occurs (roughly translated: "In font "LucidaSansUNicode" the value for
> /Widths is faulty."). I noticed that this error only occurs when the first
> page is displayed that has text added by PDFBox! The same font is also used
> for all other text (used by Apache FOP to generate). When I look at the
> dialog window of Acrobat 3. tab "Fonts", I notice lots of entries
> LucidaSansUnicode (Eingebettete Untergruppe)
> Typ: TrueType (CID)
> Kodierung: Identity-H
> but only 1 entry at the very top that looks different:
> LucidaSansUnicode (Eingebettet)
> Typ: TrueType
> Kodierung: Ansi
> I guess one is from Apache FOP (generation of PDF) and one is from PDFBox
> (adding additional text to the PDF). However, both use the same source file
> "l_10646.ttf"!
