Hi all
I'm developing a program which has been writing out servicable PDF files for a few months, with embedded Truetype fonts; the files open without problem and display correctly. However, I am now trying to write out parent/child fonts (to allow character sets other than Latin) and I'm running into problems, even though I think I'm obeying the PDF spec.
Specifically, when I open the PDF, my font is not used. In the Document properties, Fonts tab, only the parent font is displayed, and at the bottom of the dialog, the following appears: "Gathering font information... (0%)".
Presumably, that means there is at least one mistake in my font declarations. The relevant sections from my PDF are as follows; I wonder if anyone can see anything obviously wrong? Note that there are many more figures in object 5's width collection, but I have removed them for the sake of brevity.

Is there anything obviously wrong here?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
