-----------------------------------------
Hi Eric,
I don't think this type has a Length1 since it's subtype is CIDFontType2, so it
would have to be validated differently.
re: Subtype name (Required) The type of CIDFont; CIDFontType0 or CIDFontType2.
A CIDFont dictionary is a PDF object that contains information about a
CIDFont program. Although its Type value is Font, a CIDFont is not actually a
font. It does not have an Encoding entry, it cannot be listed in the Font
subdictionary
of a resource dictionary, and it cannot be used as the operand of the Tf
operator. It is used only as a descendant of a Type 0 font. The CMap in the
Type 0
font is what defines the encoding that maps character codes to CIDs in the
CIDFont. Table 5.13 lists the entries in a CIDFont dictionary.
TABLE 5.13 Entries in a CIDFont dictionary
KEY TYPE
Happy Holidays,
William
