Bugs item #774, was opened at 2007-04-15 21:20 You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=774&group_id=106 Category: Fonts Group: v1.40.3 Status: Closed Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Reinhard Kotucha (reinhard) Assigned to: Hartmut Henkel (hhenkel) Summary: UniqueID in subsetted Type1 fonts Initial Comment: The currant version of pdftex removes the UniqueID from the font dictionary when a subset of a Type1 font is included. However, there is still a UniqueID in the Private dictionary which should be removed too.
From the PostScript Language Reference Manual (p. 336):
When you copy a font dictionary for the purpose of creating a modified font, you should not copy the UniqueID or XUID entry. As an exception to this general rule, it is acceptable (and preferable) to retain the original UniqueID or XUID entry if the only modified entries are FontName, FontInfo, FontMatrix, or Encoding, because those changes do not affect the glyphs’ appearance or metrics.
