Hello! I'm having a problem with linked fonts in PDFs (those fonts are not embeded but just referenced to with a name and some fontmetrics and the reader must look up the fonts in the OS and provide them). I'm using the PdfParser.cpp to read the Objects from a PDF and keep them in memory with the PdfMemDocument Class. If i then render the pdfpages with XPdf and display the rendered images the text written in the referenced fonts is not visible at all. If i then create a new pdf file from my PdfMemDocument it will substitute the missing signs by dots.
Any ideas on how i could be able to check if the font is just referenced? How can i get the fontmetrics and the name from that referenced font? If i get the name and the metrics I could call the WinAPI and Windows would give me a font which matches the most to what i want. (I know that this whole problem is kind of dumb, because referencing fonts takes away the "portable" form pdf... but well a customer wants it :-( ) Thanks in advance!
