[Gs-devel] No display of pdfwrite CID glyphs in Acrobat 5.0

[Richard Shih-Ping Chan]

Hi,

The attached file is a pdf file created by
gs 7.00 on i686-pc-linux-gnu. It contains CID font glyphs and
some Times Roman. The file displays in gs but not Acrobat 5.0 (only the
Times glyphs are visible in Acrobat - BTW Acrobat knows that there
is a CID font in the file in Document Properties->Fonts).

I'm wondering whether you folks can tell whether this
is valid .pdf and whether the the fault is with Acrobat or gs.
(The CID characters do not display under Acrobat 4 either.)

The CID Font used is STSong-Light-Acro from the Acrobat 5.0 Simplified
Chinese font pack.

Here is the PostScript file used to create this PDF file

%%This file is testing.ps
%%It is used to create testing.pdf with
%%the command line
%%ps2pdf13 testing.ps
%%The CID Font is taken from the Adobe site.
%%You need the CMap UniGB-UCS-H and the CID font STSong-Light-Acro.
%%The file displays correctly on gs 7
