Spacing is wrong for (some) embedded fonts #280

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Embed a font using TTF and AFM files
2. Generate a PDF using this font containing enough text to get a decent sample 
of different characters, upper and lower case
3. Compare the look of the same text and font in Flash, with the output PDF

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: the text to be shown in the same way in Flash as in the PDF.
Actual: the space between each character is wrong - either too much, or some 
letters overlapping - in the PDF.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
AlivePDF 0.1.5 (svn rev 273) on OS X.

Please provide any additional information below.
This bug doesn't occur with all fonts, but with quite a few. Among the ones 
I've seen it in, are the following: Brush Script, Champignon, Cloister Black, 
Exmouth, Fat Sans, Gabrielle, Jersey Letters, Snell Roundhand, Renaissance, 
Varsity.

Also found the same letter spacing problem with two more fonts: Antipasto and 
Geo Sans Light.
