Dear Albert, As http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/otff.htm#otttables says, hmtx is "required" table for self standing font.
Also https://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/font/5012.Type42_Spec.pdf says, hmtx is "required" table for Type42 embedded font in PostScript, and it is also required by CIDFontType2 in PDF, too. (see http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_reference_1-7.pdf p.468). However, I don't know how Adobe Reader handles a PDF including such font. Yet I'm not sure whether FreeType2 should care, or, poppler should, but, if Adobe Reader opens it without any font substitution, some fallback should be considered. Where can I obtain a sample PDF?
