It has nothing to do with the way you are intergrating the code. These are all TTF-related misunderstandings I introduced myself. The problem is, that Minolta Printer are less tolerant on TTF problems than all PDF viewer I've tested so far. > Do you think it is a blocker for all or just for you?

It is a blocker for all users of TTFSubFont, because their users will cheat them on breaking their Minolta printers like I've been cheated by my customer. I have a fix in my original code, which is build atop of pdfbox-1.7.1. I have not switched over to 1.8.0 so far, but surely I'd love to see a pdfbox-1.8.0 with working TTSubFont class. Wolfgang
