Dear PS Gurus,

I'm learning rearranged font with "Adobe CIDFont specification" and have a lot of questions. Now the first two are coming.

1. Can a rearranged font be embedded in a ps file as below:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0

.......

<<build the font Times-Roman-ISO with ISOLatin1Encoding >>

%!PS-Adobe-3.0 Resource-Font

%%ADOResourceSubCategory: RearrangedFont

%%DocumentNeededResources: procset CIDInit

%%+ font Times-Roman-ISO

%%+ font Times-Roman

%%IncludeResource: procset CIDInit

%%BeginResource:Font Times-Roman-Super

%%Version: 1

/CIDInit /ProcSet findresource begin

%%ADOStartRearrangedFont

/Times-Roman-Super

[ /Times-Roman-ISO

/Times-Roman

] beginrearrangedfont

1 usefont

1 beginbfchar

<2D> <2D>

endbfchar

endrearrangedfont

end

%%EndResource

%%EOF

<<use the rearranged font>>

I tried to display such a file with GS, but got always the error message that /FontName is not defined.

2. Must the template font always be a CIDFont? I came to this idea since rearranged font is explained in the above-mentiond specification. The example I copied unter question 1 takes Times-Roman-ISO as the template font which is no CIDFont.

Many thanks in advance for any hints!
