> Key: PDFBOX-1250
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1250
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: FontBox, PDModel
> Reporter: Mehdi Houshmand
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
> Attachments: example.unc.pdf, out.patch, pdfbox-type1font.pfb, test.fo

>
> So the problem here is easily reproducible with pretty much ANY CIDFontTypeOC
> font file is embedded in a PDF and PDFBox is used to rasterize it, all the
> glyphs appear to have bad horizontal metrics.
> Fontbox converts the CID encoded font into a Type1 font using the
> org.apache.fontbox.cff.Type1FontFormatter class and for some reason, when it
> does this, the horizontal metrics of the glyphs are lost/corrupted. This can
> clearly be seen by putting a System.out just before the byte[] type1Bytes is
> given to Font.createFont in PDType1CFont.java.
> I've included the PDF and the Type1 font that PDFBox gives java.awt.Font,
> openning the font in FontForge or painting the text with Graphics2D will
> easily illustrate this issue.
> We plan on fixing this issue in the imminent future but unfortunately, I
> don't make the rules...
