John Cumming commented on FOP-2460: ----------------------------------- We have also had problems with several other OTF fonts, including Adobe Caslon Pro Regular. We get a series of filled circles and no valid rendered glyphs in the output. Other applications, such as MS Word, FrameMaker and InDesign all handle the font OK. This may well be a different problem but could be related ? I have always assumed that the bug is somewhere in the OTF handling, although haven't had a look myself yet. > Subsetting OTF font leads to PDF errors when viewing / incorrect characters > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FOP-2460 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2460 > Project: Fop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: font/opentype > Affects Versions: trunk > Reporter: Robert Meyer > > When attempting to generate a document whilst subsetting the > VilleroyBoch-Regular.otf font, different viewers will either show errors, no > text or lead to incorrect or corrupt characters being drawn. > I currentlty believe this is down to either a subroutine not being copied > from the original font leading to a invalid reference, or the subroutine does > not contain valid data. When looking at this font in FontForge, 3 characters > in a "hello world" example I used were missing which backs up this hypothesis. > [EDIT] I've removed the font as I did not check if there were copyright > issues by making it public domain. I will work when I am able to do so but > keep the font privately unless I hear otherwise from the user who originally > posted the problem -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
