Description Unknown 2003-03-29 22:29:43 UTC 
When converting a file to PDF that uses the Symbol, Webdings, Wingdings fonts,
blocks are what are viewable in the resulting PDF file instead of the font
characters. 

The file shows the fonts correctly in the .sxw file. 

Platform -- Freshly installed Windows 98SE with all windows updates run. Viewing
in adobe acrobat reader v5.1.0

Also attached is an output done the same way from a Windows 2000 Machine. As you
can see, the fonts are correctly imbeded. I provide supports to a K-12 school
that runs all windows 98 at this time. This is a bug for this situation.

Seems to be yours.

Setting status to Accepted.
Comment 6 hdu@apache.org 2003-04-07 17:25:29 UTC 
Yes, the font's name table contained P=3,E=0 tables which violate the truetype 
spec. Workaround for this problem from issue 12826 also fixes this problem.

HDU->US: Please verify in CWS VCL07.

darn...
Comment 11 hdu@apache.org 2003-04-13 15:48:09 UTC 
The W98 PDF export works great for symbol fonts also on W98 when no "symbol 
aliasing" is involved. I.e. when using only the characters that are also shown in the 
"Insert->Special Character" dialog for this font. For symbol fonts these are typically 
U+FF20..U+F0FF.  On win for backwards compatibility with 8bit APIs a symbol at 
U+FFxx get mapped down into the code U+00xx. So the real anomaly is that a 
real symbol from the U+FFxx range is shown when only a U+00xx is used. 
 
Time for a workaround...
Comment 12 hdu@apache.org 2003-04-13 16:34:46 UTC 
Added emulation for aliasing symbols from U+0XXX to 0+FXXX in PDF subsetting in 
CWS VCL08.
