While I do see some problems in the Font-DSCs Michael just added, I do support to add DSCs via the registry. The reason is, that DSCs are (to some extend) resource descriptions collected from all the components of the file. There are DSCs (we do not yet support), which are crucial. I remember one (old) use-case where I had to add DSCs, which had been collected from included EPS files (this was related to spot colors). At that point in time we didn't had such a fancy infrastructure like the registry and in the end of the day my solution was to add another "walk-through-all-the-content-to-collect-some-data" like what we're did for the bounding box. Please consider the font DSCs as a initial and specific solution for a general DSC-handling which surely should be handled via the registry. The details of this functionality has to be developed, but in general (to my current understanding) it is correct to use the registry here. (Still I think the font-DSCs Michael proposed in this thread are wrong, but this is a different issue.)
