Tobias Fischer updated PDFBOX-3759:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: fontbox-2.0.5-ttfsubsetter_scrambled-OpenType-kerning.png
Summary: TTFSubsetter scrambles OpenType ligature and kerning tables
(and probably others as well) (was: TTFSubsetter scrambles OpenType ligature
table (and probably others as well))
The OpenType {{kern}} kerning table is also affected by this, as the following
screenshot shows:
!fontbox-2.0.5-ttfsubsetter_scrambled-OpenType-kerning.png!
The kerning for the letter "T" (and others) is lost, although the letter "T" is
part of the subset.

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: FontBox
> Affects Versions: 2.0.5
> Reporter: Tobias Fischer
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments:
> fontbox-2.0.5-ttfsubsetter_scrambled-OpenType-kerning.png,

> When using the TTFSubsetter as standalone software and subsetting an
> OpenType/TrueType font, the {{liga}} OpenType ligature table gets scrambled
> "randomly".
> E.g. when viewing the source font "DejaVuSans.ttf" in FontLab Studio, the
> OpenType {{liga}} table is shown as follows:
> {code}
> feature liga {
> script arab;
> lookup liga33 {
> lookupflag IgnoreMarks RightToLeft;
> sub uniFEDF uniFE88 by uniFEF9;
> sub uniFEDF uniFE84 by uniFEF7;

> sub uniFEE0 uniFE84 by uniFEF8;
> sub uniFEE0 uniFE82 by uniFEF6;

> The {{liga}} table of the subsetted font now want's to replace "oou" instead
> of "ffl".
> The result, for example in InDesign, is devastating:
> !fontbox-2.0.5-ttfsubsetter_scrambled-OpenType-ligatures.png!
> The subsetted font indeed tries to replace "oou" with a non-existing glyph
> and scrambles the whole text in the rendering. The font subset is unusable.
> I know that it's hard to maintain OpenType features in a font subset, but I
> would at least expect that the OpenType tables are kept "as-is"...
