Windows font error
I am adding some text to a PDF and when I open it in acrobat viewer I get
two errors:
"An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page
correctly. Please contact the person who created teh PDF document to
correct the problem"
and a couple secs later:
"Cannot find or create the font 'AAAAVG+ArielMT'. Some character may not
display or print correctly."
And the characters are replaced with little round dots.
I am running the latest 2.0.0 snapshot. Code is:
File f1 = new File("C:\\windows\\fonts\\arial.ttf");
font = PDType0Font.load(document, f1);
PDPageContentStream cos = new PDPageContentStream(document, p, true, true);
cos.showText("my text");
Other fonts either do the same thing (lsans.ttf,times.ttf) or give the
error about the missing glyph. If I render that page as a PNG and save it
the font appears correctly.
Thanks

Can you include the complete, working code which you're using, e.g. where did "p" come from? It looks like you're trying to append content to an existing page, is that correct?

What windows version do you have? What else do you do with the content
stream? I'd need the smallest possible code for that to try it myself.
It sounds like a bug with font subsetting.
Having the result PDF file would also be useful.
