We try to keep the type1 code in sync between dvips and pdftex, so it's
sad that the results differ.  Clearly something is awry :(.  --thanks, karl.

Yes, but the font inclusion is done by Ghostscript surely?
So we need to be up-to-date with what those guys are doing.

BTW,  Ghostscript v.9.19 has a good new   /Ext_Metadata pdfmark   construction,
which I���m exploiting to get valid PDF/As with complex metadata packets.  
So far it only works with ascii-encode text in the extra metadata fields.
This needs to be fixed to match what pdfx can do when using pdfTeX as engine.

 "sufficient to type \char 32 somewhere in your document and the /space
should appear within the font subset.���
OK, thanks. 

It does indeed with the DavidCLM font, but that���s not enough for PDF/A validation 
of my test document. It still needs  /quotesingle .
And it doesn���t explain why Ghostscript has included /space  with no extra effort 
from the document author.   I suggest that pdfTeX do this too!!!


Hope this helps,
Ross
