 Hello Pauro,

 Thank you for answering my question.
 But I don't really understand it.
 I tried your sample of 'cff_font.java', and generated PDF has subsetted
 font.

No it is not. All the CFF table is copied.

 Next, I replaced font of 'liz.otf' with 'KozMinStd-Heavy' (Japanese
 OpneType
 font) , but I got an error.

 Does your answer mean that OpenType font of European languages are OK,
 but
 not CJK OpneType font?

I would expect that it would work for CJK fonts, although only with the
European languages characters but it doesn't. I tried with
KozMinPro-Regular-Acro.otf, the font that comes with Acrobat, and it works
well for the ASCII characters but the others, like accented characters or
cyrillic, come up as japanese kanji. Appearently it doesn't care about the
cmap table that maps unicode to the CID. All I can say is that OTF support
is experimental and that the only fonts I have is liz.otf and the Adobe CJK
ones. If there's enough interest for CJK OTF non subset fonts I can have a
look at it (if someone provides me with a font for testing).

Best Regards,
Paulo Soares

  I was expecting this question. The answer is no. I don't think is too
  difficult to get the right CID from the font but the problem is that
 no
  subseting is made for type1 fonts and CFF fonts are nothing more than
 one or
  more type1 fonts wrapped in another package. I don't see the logic of
  embedding the full character set of a CJK font, the size of which
 start at
  4M. By the way, I don't expect to support anytime soon type1
 subseting. It's
  postscript and I developed a special hatred for stack-based languages
 from
  the days of HP calculators and Forth.
