------------------------------
Are you referring to any particular font? steps and resources required to
reproduce the issue.
Does this makes any difference to UI/output?
> Incomplete TTF subset files for mutibyte fonts - incomplete mapping between
> CIDs and codepoints when having two codepoints associated to the same glyph
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: FOP-2938
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2938
> Project: FOP
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: font/opentype
> Affects Versions: 2.5
> Reporter: Dan Caprioara
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: CIDFonts Subset Architectural Problem.png
>
>
> A generic problem appears for MultiByte CID fonts.
> Because of a limitation of the CIDSubset implemenatation, once a glyph has
> been used for a code point, next usages of the same glyph for other
> codepoints are discarded. This results in incomplete tables in the TTF sub
> set file. The structures from CIDSubset class are maps, limiting
> expressiveness.
>
> In the next diagram I used hyphens and soft hyphens, just as an example, any
> text with two different characters that map to the same glyph is affected.
> See this attached sketch for details:
> !CIDFonts Subset Architectural Problem.png!
> The solution would be to avoid usage of hash maps, and create some
> associative lists (currently the uniqueness of the keys breaks things).
