I have a customer in Macau that uses Windows EUDC for custom Big5 glyphs. I used Fontforge on Linux to convert the .TTE into a type 11 (CID type 2) font and created a custom CMap to map the Big5 code points to the correct glyph in the font. This all works fine and dandy in GS8.60 on Windows and GS8.61 - GS8.63 on Linux. When loading the font in GS8.61 on Windows I get a
/rangecheck error in /findfont in gs_cidfn.ps.
I've tried to use the EUDC.TTE font natively in ghostscript through the cidfmap with no luck, /invalidfont in /findfont. I'm hesitant to try to contact Ken Lunde, as this appears to be a problem specific to ghostscript. Does anybody know a workaround? Has anybody developed a patch so that I'm not reinventing the wheel here?
Edit: The /rangecheck error occurs in the .buildcidfont procedure. The .buildcidfont procedure has not changed from 8.60 to 8.61.
This seems to be resolved in GS8.63. Upgrading the client from 8.61 to 8.63 resolves this issue.

I'm using pango library to do some text layout and cairo backend for rendering. It seems to me that the pango_cairo_layout_path method does not respect kerning.
I'm using c# bindings for pango and cairo that are provided with the gtk# project. Also i'm using the pango-cairo runtimes that also provided with gtk# project.
Here is an image demonstrating the problem (Font: Arial)
First row is from Inkscape rendering and second row from pango-cairo
Is there any known bug in pango/cairo?... or i'm doing something wrong
Do you know any work around...
Thanks in advance
It seems that pango-cairo backend in Windows by default uses the Win32 font type. With this type I had problems with kerning.
When I changed font type to be freetype everything worked as should.
In order to change font type please use:
PangoCairoFontMap * pango_cairo_font_map_new_for_font_type(cairo_font_type_t fonttype);
And
pango_cairo_font_map_set_default (PangoCairoFontMap *fontmap);

I'm using windows 7 and recently downloaded and installed LyX and MiKiTeX to my computer in addition to Culmus Hebrew fonts for LyX.
However, when I want to compile a Hebrew Article it gives me an error:
\begin{document}
I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.
[Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.]
You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `I\font<same font id>=<substitute font name>'.
Can't fix it for months now.
Appreciate your help!
I've got yet another problem with Crystal Reports 2008. This time, when I'm exporting to PDF from CR2008 from the company server, a font, Dax-regular, gets blurry. It's not completely illegible, but it is smudged out, like the ink got wet.
Another problem is that certain fonts, which I am sure are not DRM-protected or anything like that, when exported are random gibberish symbols, not readable text. This seems to be a problem with the embedding of fonts in CR.
I believe the smudged fonts could be caused by a fix I had to perform because of the small text bug that others have reported (http://www.arcanadev.com/support/kb/K00000394.aspx).
What can I do to troubleshoot and, if possible, fix this problem?
Thanks!
To my experience I haven't seen anything like that all fonts are properly exported to PDF if you provide any screenshot it would be more helpful.
Your second issue of symbols there are some fonts when you type will provide you symbols may be you are using those....
Sorry if I understood yout issue in a wring way
I've been having a world of trouble getting Khmer fonts (an Indic script of Cambodia) to render reliably on the web across platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux).
Google web fonts recently added Khmer, which seems like the best bet. However, I have not been successful getting Khmer fonts to work on any Mac or Linux system. I can get them to work on Windows by installing the Khmer Unicode installer from http://khmeros.info but not by just including Google's font in an HTML file.
For example, see this screenshot of the Google web fonts page on a fresh Windows installation. You can see that the default Windows Khmer font (uuuuugly!) is being used instead of Danh's pretty fonts.
I have another test file here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/634/khmer_test.html. For the first test, you should see something like this for both the web font and the default system font (assuming you have Hanuman installed). I have yet to find a system where both examples work reliably.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. My primary goal is to get this working on a website; a secondary goal is to get Khmer (and other Indic fonts) working in a PDF generator like iText (although I am aware iText itself does not support Indic fonts -- I'm hoping something similar does).
Every Cambodian Windows users are always delete the font name called: KhmerMool and Khmer Kampot. Then they change the default Khmer font in regedit too. You can check at http://thelifeandwork.blogspot.com/2010/01/changing-default-khmer-font-in-windows.html . I'm not sure about Khmer font and other Indic font in PDF. I always have problem when i copy Khmer unicode from PDF to put in OpenOffice or Office Word or LibreOffice.
Khmer Unicode displays on the web, it will always solve now by Google Webfont, please refer to that.
And if you want to have Khmer display in PDF by converting using iText, you can see following post:
Khmer Unicode in iText
http://ask.osify.com/qa/287
They are currently not yet support the display yet.
But, just today I can get it works by modifying the source code of iText (5.5.4-SNAPSHOT) as I just stated in my post: http://ask.osify.com/qa/613, not yet be able to publish since it's just start in testing around.
Updated 13/01/2016
I have added the source code sample for the rendering: http://ask.osify.com/qa/613
The rendering customization with iText for Khmer Unicode added in github: https://github.com/Seuksa/iTextKhmer
It only happens on some web pages, and only for some text items. On splurb.com, it is happening all over:
http://scottelkin.com/images/splurb.jpg
Going to splurb.com it looks like the font used is in the family of Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif(lifted from the css). Those fonts should be included into windows. Perhaps they have been removed. Make sure those fonts are installed.
