Hi all,
Andreas has kindly integrated my TTFSubFont class into pdfbox-1.8.0.
I just started the integration. We are far away from the end.
Thanks again for sharing the code with us.
However, we are experiencing crashes of Minolta printers, which stumble
across some subtle Problems in the extracted TTF fonts generated by this
class. Most notably, the font checksum is calculated to an invalid value
among other more subtle issues.
Is this because I integrated some of your stuff or because of how I integrated
your stuff?
With the help of Microsoft's font validator tool, I have been able to
fix most of these problems in my original code:

Currently, I'm awaiting the confirmation of our customer, that the
fixes cure the Minolts-printer-crashing problem.
Once I've received this confirmation I will work out a patch againt
pdfbox trunk, which seems to be quite easy, because the code there is
pretty much identical to my original code.
If all goes well, I should be able to come up with a patch until
Sunday, March 24th. If things turn out to be more cimplicated I will let
you know.
Do you think it is a blocker for all or just for you? Maybe we should release
1.8.0 as is and do another bugfix release in a couple of weeks?
Best regards,
Wolfgang
Thanks for your feedback
