I see no reason for that to happen. Please provide a small standalone program
so that the problem can be reproduced.

> Subject: [iText-questions] Type 3 Font Problem
>
> Hi,
>
> I am having some trouble converting an IBM AFP raster font to
> a Type 3 font using iText. I do this quite often with no
> difficulty however
> I have encountered a strange problem. The IBM font defines
> more than one whitespace character in many of its codepages,
> in this case 0x40 and 0x41 (these are ECDIC encodings). The
> 0x40 maps to the standard 0x20 Unicode/ascii space character.
> The 0x41 maps to 0xA0 Unicode value which is also a Unicode
> whitespace character. In the IBM/AFP world these two white space
> characters can have different semantics and character
> increments/widths.
>
> Well so far so good. However when I build the type 3 glyphs
> for these two mapped characters u0020 and u00a0
> (u0020 first) the raster for the second (u00A0) clobbers the
> raster for u0020. Infact, when text is displayed the raster/image
> associated with the u00A0 glyph is displayed for the u0020
> character. The iText defineGlyph () call returns different
> objects for the two characters but the image for the second
> glyph is displayed when showing text using the first glyph.
>
> Now my question becomes this, is this a bug/feature in the
> iText code, that only a single white space character is maintained?
> Or, is there some other reason that the u0020 and u00a0
> conflict? Is this a PDF/Adobe/PostScript 'feature'?
>
> Any help would be greatly appreciated.
