Hi Dmitri, > for the detailed drawback description and for te patch, I'll go check the > affected class source to see the reason.
Well, I have to admit that I didn't add comments to the class source explaining the reason since the patch consists only of a few extra lines within one class method. So here comes the explanation: When rebuilding new indices for charstrings and global and local subroutines the code introduced zero-length index entries for unused charstrings and unused subroutines. Apparently Adobe Reader 8 and above does not handle this situation correctly (although prior versions did). So I changed the class source to insert 1-byte instructions for unused charstrings and subroutines (operator ENDCHAR for charstrings and operator RETURN for subroutines). This solves the problem at the price of a slightly bigger PDF file. BTW OpenType (CFF) fonts are only subsetted if they are used with encoding Identity-H, otherwise the complete CFF table is embedded resulting in quite large PDF files depending on the font used.
