PDF: is this a valid font name ? - #82l#82r#82o#83S#83V#83b#83N

I am using a PDF converter library to embed fonts in a PDF file.

However there is a problem with some documents (japanese?) where the library cannot recognize a fontname correctly

/FontName /#82l#82r#82o#83S#83V#83b#83N

is this a valid name for a font ?

If yes - could someone give me a reference ?

Solution

  • It's called Shift JIS encoding ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_JIS )

    Take a look at this old mail from the Ghostscript mailing list for a list of font names: http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2002-April/001599.html https://web.archive.org/web/20100131034139/http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2002-April/001599.html
