> So the problem here is easily reproducible with pretty much ANY CIDFontTypeOC font file is embedded in a PDF and PDFBox is used to rasterize it, all the glyphs appear to have bad horizontal metrics.
> Fontbox converts the CID encoded font into a Type1 font using the org.apache.fontbox.cff.Type1FontFormatter class and for some reason, when it does this, the horizontal metrics of the glyphs are lost/corrupted. This can clearly be seen by putting a System.out just before the byte[] type1Bytes is given to Font.createFont in PDType1CFont.java.
> I've included the PDF and the Type1 font that PDFBox gives java.awt.Font, openning the font in FontForge or painting the text with Graphics2D will easily illustrate this issue.
> We plan on fixing this issue in the imminent future but unfortunately, I don't make the rules...
