[gs-devel] different font name shown in PDF viewer

[Mark DeVries]

I have a PS file that uses ArialUnicodeMS, a huge font with >50K
characters.  The font is TrueType, and I convert it to Type 42 with
Eddie Kohler's ttftotype42.  Ghostscript PDF Writer nicely makes a good
PDF from that, but the Properties > Fonts dialog in a PDF viewer (Adobe
or Foxit) shows only ArialMT, not ArialUnicodeMS.  There is no ArialMT
in the file.

 

Any idea why the viewer doesn't report ArialUnicodeMS instead?

 

(FWIW, when I use Acrobat Distiller 9 to make the PDF. it flushes the
job with typecheck on show.  Hooray for Ghostscript!)
