Pdf Printing of text from embedded fonts
----------------------------------------
Key: PDFBOX-490
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-490
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Utilities
Affects Versions: 0.8.0-incubator
Environment: Windows XP, JRE 1.6
Reporter: Steve Poling
When printing from utility PrintPdf, text is rendered in the wrong typeface. The correct typeface is embedded within the PDF (Embedded Subset) as a TrueType font with an ANSI encoding. It may be noted that the AcroFields in a Courier typeface render correctly.

-------------------------------------------
I've to correct my former guess. First off all the problem is the missing Naming-Table.
I think there are two possible options to solve this issue. In both cases we have to improve the TTFParser.
(1) repair the incomplete stream before passing it to the createFont method
(2) create an awtfont on our own with the provided data from the embedded fontdata
I guess (1) will be easier. Any other ideas?

The java font loader complains about the missing name table, so that I tried to add that one. To do so, we have to implement a TTF writer. There are already some classes [1] from the TTFParser which can be used.

I've worked on option (1) but it's more complicated than I thought at first. At the moment I'm working on PDFBOX-542 which will add support for CFF/Type2 fonts to fontbox. As java doesn't support that font format, those fonts will be converted to a Type1 font which is supported by java. Returning to our issue with embedded subsets of true type fonts, this will be a suitable solution too.

Steve Poling commented on PDFBOX-490:
-------------------------------------
I just took inventory of the tables used in the TTF data embedded in the PDF attached to PDFBOX-490 and compared it with the TTF file from which the data originated. I found that the following tables are omitted: hdmx (horizonal device metrics), name, and post (glyph name and postscript compatibility).
Have you attempted adding any of these tables to the TTF stream? I suppose the easiest would be the name table, then post, then hdmx. I note the TTF documentation requires the name and post tables, but not the hdmx, so I suppose I might get by without that.
Is there anything in the pdfbox codebase that reads/writes TTF files?

-------------------------------------------
I guess the streams for the fonts (embedded subset) aren't complete. The PostScriptTable is missing and obviously java needs it to create an awt-font from a truetype-font (see java.awt.Font.createFont). otherwise a FontFormatException is thrown.
Does anyone know a workaround? Or do we have to implement a ttf-streamwriter to create a repaired ttf-stream?
