The idea of “printer-resident fonts” dates back to the earliest laser printers where communication speeds between the host computer and the printer were very low and most if not all computers did not have scalable type for display (at best, finely tuned bitmaps were used to approximate the printed results for WYSIWYG word processors, layout programs, and graphics software. Note that if your non-Adobe PostScript to PDF software has “resident” fonts, they are very likely knockoffs of the standard Adobe PostScript printer resident fonts and all bets are off. There are many cases in which the printer-resident fonts matching the name of a host computer font may have different designs, different metrics, or even different character sets yielding even worse issues than you report.Īt Adobe, we obviously can't comment on or for that matter assist with Windows/GhostScript software, but based on what could happen with Acrobat Distiller, we are fairly confident that similar issues occur with any conversion of PostScript to PDF.
