AW: [Swftools-common] font problems / pdf2swf / os x

[Markus Kuhnert]

Hi,

I think the problem is pdf2swf (or xpdf?) doesn't support CID-Fonts
(doubleByte). The PDF's we use are created from Indesign CS, which converts
the fonts to CID-Fonts when exporting to pdf to preserve unicode.

CID-Fonts consist out of 65536 glyhps.

Is there a workaround for these fonts?
