Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-3725:
-----------------------------------------
Except for the BBox thing and the message by the PDF Tools validator, I haven't
found a clear proof that your font file is "wrong". I suspect that the author
of our type1 parser took existing type 1 files and looked how they are
structured. Obviously, we can't write a Postscript interpreter.
The easiest for us would be that you create a patch... the second best would be
that you tell the structure. Or create some conversion tool.
