Something I forgot to add. In one of the Pdf's I was using, I am able to
get the font name using: PdfFontMetrics::GetFontname() which returns
LNCKCK+TimesNewRomanPSMT . I'm beginning to think that the reason the
PdfFontMetricsObject version of GetGlyphID is being called is due to some
kind of limitation with my system. I'm using Windows XP SP3.
I even deleted the FontCache file in my Win32 folder and restarted the
computer (enabling it to be rebuilt) but it hasn't made any difference.
Could it be that the loaded font isn't recognized as something managed by
Freetype2 or a Base14 font so it's defaulting the PdfFontMetricsObject
every time? I'm certain my problem has something to do with the font.
