Hello,
reading chapter 5 of the specification my understanding is that:
- to support Unicode text in a PDF it looks useful to use a CIDFont.
- CIDFonts can be constructed with some TTF or Type-3-Fonts.
- TTF seems to be widely spread but Type-3 seems to be more "natural" for PDF (my interpretation).
Are there some Type-3 fonts that make it possible to test supporting Unicode characters in a PDF?
By "Unicode in a PDF" i mean constructing a PDF that displays UTF-8 input correctlyin a PDF and that also lets me select the text in the PDF and copy it into a text editor.
Are there some example Type-3 fonts available?
Are those example fonts license free?
In what format are they available?
Is there a standard format for Type-3 fonts?
Are there tools available for editing Type-3 fonts?
Best regards,
Torsten.
