[Swftools-common] Asian Fonts..

[Chris Pugh]

There have been several posts on this list concerning apparent
incorrect conversion from pdf  to swf, where pages contain
Asian/Chinese fonts. Jim Huang's being the latest..

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/swftools-common/2010-02/msg00105.html

After a spot of prelimiary investigation It would appear that most
errors are being caused by discrepancies between the Character IDs
used in the pdfs posted to the list, and those actually referenced by
xpdf - supplementary fonts are available here,

  ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/

Example conversion from the above list link,

<snip>
 .
VERBOSE =========== DFMingStd-W5 (ID:16,0) ==========
VERBOSE | Tag: MFRMSB+DFMingStd-W5-16-0
VERBOSE | is CID font
VERBOSE | Type: CIDType0
VERBOSE | is serif
VERBOSE | is symbolic
ERROR   Invalid charid 931 for font (0 characters)
ERROR   Invalid charid 618 for font (0 characters)
ERROR   Invalid charid 1625 for font (0 characters)
ERROR   Invalid charid 1772 for font (0 characters)
ERROR   Invalid charid 825 for font (0 characters)
VERBOSE Updating font to EMYDFS+ArialMT-13-0
VERBOSE =========== ArialMT (ID:13,0) ==========
..
</snip>

.. which points to the culprit being the ( Adobe? ) application  of
routine that did the actual conversion in the first place?

Creating pdfs from a random sample of *.cn pages ( under both Windows
and Linux ) ,  using the latest Ghostscript library, gives conversions
with pdf2swf, that seem to proceed quite flawlessly.  At least to my
eye.

Anyone?

Regards,



Chris.
