- In "NeXT-ifying" some type 1 fonts I made the following discovery: A number
- of fonts did not respond to the "lighter", "heavier" buttons, although the
- weights were correct in the font file.
-
- I narrowed it down to the following fact: If the font used a standard
- encoding vector (Encoding AdobeStandardEncoding) , the lighter/heavier
- worked fine on the font. However, if it used a custom encoding vector
- (ie Encoding AppleStandard, with an array in the font file to define
- what it was [array 256 def, etc]) it would not work. For any files
- that exhibited this problem I modified the encoding vector back to
- adobe standard encoding and it worked fine.
-
- Have other people experienced this problem? Is it a postscript
- weirdness or a bug?
