[xep-support] XEP 3.7.4: Strange font names generated in PDF

[Werner Donné]

Hi,

When running XEP in Weblogic I have a strange problem that occurs
now and then and only the first time after a restart of the
application server.

The problem is the name of the fonts in the PDF file. I see lines like
this:

/BaseFont/GFEDCB+TimesNewRomanPSMT

instead of

/BaseFont/TimesNewRomanPSMT

The fonts are TTF fonts which are embedded using subsetting like this:

<font name="TimesNewRomanPSMT"
       ttf="resource:XEP/ttf/TimesNewRomanPSMT.ttf"
       subset="true"
       embed="true"/>

<alias name="Serif" font="TimesNewRomanPSMT"/>

The document instance uses "serif" as the font family name.

On the command-line this can't be reproduced, so it is not going to be
possible for you to test it. I ask it anyway in case it reminds you of
anything, perhaps in the area of XEP initialisation.

I have also sent you the resulting PDF file off-list.

Regards,

Werner.
