What I wanted was one that had been prepared mostly to ILLUSTRATE how one does it correctly. Perhaps you know of one, in particular, that you believe is a good, simple illustration. > What do you mean by a "composite font"? Type 0? I suppose so...I was using the PostScript term...a font that has other fonts as children. While we're on this subject, is there a known bug about using these in PDF? A lot of PostScript interpreters did the wrong things with such fonts--for the longest time, GhostScript went to blazes if you did a stringwidth operation on a string in such a font. I'd rather not rediscover such things in the current project. > That's not something you'd see in the wild, it's a format > used for dealing with Unicode data and non-Unicode fonts... Yes, and for very large character sets--like we need. It's sort of a long story--but suffice it to say that I already HAVE the fonts (in PostScript) and essentially, all I really want to know is how to pull the PostScript apart and make the right PDF creatures to utilize them with the PDF operators. I found the PDF spec more than usually turgid on the subject--and so I was hoping that somebody could show me a simple example I could model my work on. That's what I'm after.
