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?
