A search at http://www.google.com/ Entering - Identity H Font Yields http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/3222e.htm <wink> - hey, your on the internet, use it ! LOL CID or composite fonts are also commonly referred to as "double-byte fonts", "complex fonts" or "Asian fonts" or "Identity H fonts". These fonts are typically used to handle writing systems where there are a very large number of characters, such as in Japanese or Chinese writing systems. So typically you would run into PDF files containing CID fonts for files that are for an Asian market. However, Adobe InDesign typically outputs all fonts as CID fonts if you output directly to PDF instead of going through PostScript. When these fonts are used in a PDF document, they can use all kinds of specialized encoding systems; but one of the most common you will encounter is called "Identity-H". Typically CID fonts are checked during a preflight process because they cause problems on older RIPs. To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdf.html
