Bob Swanson commented on PDFBOX-954:
------------------------------------
I have also pointed out this issue. I can reproduce the problem with versions
of PDFBox after 1.1.0. I am using Arial.TTF from the Mac. I have tried to view
the files on my wife's Windows 7 machine, and get the same warning errors in
Adobe Reader, so at least the Adobe Reader does not depend on being on a Mac.
Other postings indicate that the TTF files from Windows cause the same message
to appear.
I have two PDF files I created using the canned version of
"org.apache.pdfbox.examples.pdmodel.HelloWorldTTF" that comes with the
distribution. This process eliminated any possibility that my own PDF-creation
software was causing the problem. I ran the same command line, using the 1.1.0
and 1.4.0 JAR files (and some versions in between).
The file from 1.1.0 reads just fine, but those created by any JAR after 1.1.0
all cause the same warning error. (I have not been able to download 1.5.0 yet,
but others' experiences seem to point to the same issue).

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: FontBox
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Environment: JDK1.6.0_23, Windows XP
> Reporter: MH
>
> We have a problem with the font 'LucidiaSansUnicode (l_10646.ttf). It is
> embedded in a PDF and when viewing this PDF (with Acrobat Reader 9), an error
> In der Schrift "LucidaSansUnicode" ist der Wert für /Widths fehlerhaft.
> occurs (roughly translated: "In font "LucidaSansUNicode" the value for
> /Widths is faulty."). I noticed that this error only occurs when the first
> page is displayed that has text added by PDFBox! The same font is also used
> for all other text (used by Apache FOP to generate). When I look at the
> dialog window of Acrobat 3. tab "Fonts", I notice lots of entries
> LucidaSansUnicode (Eingebettete Untergruppe)
> Typ: TrueType (CID)
> Kodierung: Identity-H
> but only 1 entry at the very top that looks different:
> LucidaSansUnicode (Eingebettet)
> Typ: TrueType
> Kodierung: Ansi
> I guess one is from Apache FOP (generation of PDF) and one is from PDFBox
> (adding additional text to the PDF). However, both use the same source file
> "l_10646.ttf"!
> Using PDFBox 1.3.0-snapshot (or iText 2.1.7), this problem does NOT occur!
> This only occurs with this "LucidaSansUnicode" font - all our other custom
> fonts don't cause this problem.
> The difference I notice in Acrobat Reader Fonts tab is the first font entry:
> PDFBox 1.4.0:
> LucidaSansUnicode (Eingebettet)
> Typ: TrueType
> Kodierung: Ansi
> PDFBox 1.3.0 or iText 2.1.7:
> LucidaSansUnicode (Eingebettete Untergruppe)
> Typ: TrueType
> Kodierung: Ansi
> So, PDFBox 1.4.0 only shows "embedded" ("Eingebettet") but PDFBox 1.3.0/iText
> version shows "embedded subgroup" ("Eingebettete Untergruppe")! Perhaps this
> is the problem?
