[jira] Updated: (PDFBOX-355) Bugfix for width-array of TrueType and
AFM-Fonts
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-355?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Jukka Zitting updated PDFBOX-355:

Description:
[Issue from SourceForge]
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1967941&group_id=78314&atid=552834
Hi folks,
I've experienced some problems with embedding TrueType and AFM/PFB fonts.
In both cases the array with the widths of the characters was incomplete
concerning some special characters. The array for afm-fonts has some gaps
whenever a character wasn't defined which leads to an Exception when the
pdf-document was displayed with PDFReader. And finally there was a problem
with german umlauts which weren't defined in the afm-file but were part of
the font. Btw. if I use this fonts with postscript everything works fine.
So I've added a hack (?!?) based on a code-fragment written by V0JT4 in the
pdf-forum (see also
https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4705274) for the encoding
of AFM-fonts.
I've attached the latest versions of the sorce code
org.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDTrueTypeFont (1.17)
org.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType1AfmPfbFont (1.5)

Andreas, would you please upload one or more PDF's for which your code is
the solution?
I need to see what changes with the inclusion of your code.
Thanks.

Hi Daniel,
I'll send you an example on friday, because I'm out of office.

Hi Daniel,
I've attached the files you asked for.
n019043l.* : the font I'm using (part of ghostscript)
test-font_not_patched.pdf : generated without my patch
test-font_patched.pdf : generated with my patch
org\pdfbox\examples\pdmodel\AFMPFBFontTest.java : testprogam to generate
the pdfs above
Without my patch:
- due to the incomplete width-array (it's defined from char 32 to 251, but
there are only 149 values) org.pdfbox.PDFReader crashes with the following
exception
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0"
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 196, Size: 149

at org.pdfbox.pdfviewer.PDFPagePanel.paint(PDFPagePanel.java:95)
....
- PDPage.convertToImage throws an exception
- AcrobatReader works but it doesn' show the german umlauts, due to the
missing encoding in the pdf
With my patch
- the width-array is defined from 0 to 255, of cause with 256 values.
Undefined characters have a width of 250 -> PDFReader now works without an
exception
- the additional DictionaryEncoding leads to an additonal encoding table
within the pdf
- the additional definition of german umlauts in the dictionary solves the
problem with the missing umlauts in the Acrobat- and the PDFReader (as it
does solve V0JT4's problem with specialcharactes from czech)
Espacially the part with german umlauts seems to be some kind of dirty
hack, but perhaps it'll be usable to fix the problem more globally.
Hope this helps,
Andreas

Pardon a dumb question, but where should I put the n0190431.* files?
Thanks, Andreas.

There are no dumb questions, only dumb answers. ;-)
You'll need the font-files if you want to use the little testprogram. It
has 2 parameters on the commandline:
- name incl. path of the pdf-file which is written
- name incl. path of the afm-fontfile
Just have a look at the source-code of the testprogram, it's quite simple

OK ...
java {all my classpath flags & stuff} org.pdfbox.examples.AFMPFBFontTest
c:\Test1.PDF c:\n0190431
java.io.FileNotFoundException: c:\n0190431
If I try using an extension:
java {all my classpath flags & stuff} org.pdfbox.examples.AFMPFBFontTest
c:\Test1.PDF c:\n0190431.pfb
java.io.FileNotFoundException: c:\n0190431.pfb.pfb
You had it working ... so I must be doing something simple wrong! Can you
tell what?
Thanks.

Hey, Daniel,
you've tried nearly any iterations, but the right one is the following
... org.pdfbox.examples.AFMPFBFontTest c:\Test1.PDF c:\n0190431.afm
