Which program triggers the problem? Specify the filename if possible.
Any program that uses the font

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install affected type1 font (ex. Helvetica)
2. Use font

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Character index seems to be off by 1, i.e. ABCD becomes BCDE, 0123 becomes 
1234, etc...
When I turn off the gdipp service (32-bit), affected fonts return to normal

What version of gdipp (including renderer)? On which operating system?
gdipp_x64_0.9.1, Windows 7 x64
Default renderer

Please provide any additional information below. Screenshots always help.
Attached screenshot and example font.

This does not effect ALL type 1 fonts

Futura Light Regular is another font that has this off-by-one problem.

My workaround was to include this in the settings file:

<font name="Futura.*">
 <renderer>0</renderer>
</font>

I also have this problem. Pretty crucial bug -- needs to be fixed or else I 
won't bother to use the program

additionally, in 0.7.6 (the "stable" version), type 1 fonts cannot be viewed at 
all -- they cause applications to crash.
