Hi

I generate Unicode PDFs with TCPDF, a Unicode compatible extension of FPDF.

While in newer Acrobat Reader versions the PDFs are displayed well,
Acrobat Reader 4 (on both Mac OS 9.2 and Windows 98) displays weird
characters. The fonts informations dialog shows that the fonts are
embedded as TrueType (CID) in Identity-H encoding. I use the default
Vera fonts delivered with TCPDF.

After converting the PDF to PS and re-generating a PDF with Distiller,
it works also in Acrobat Reader 4; and the fonts informations dialog
shows Type 1 as the format. I wonder if this can be done with TCPDF or
with some addidional PHP code?

Thanks for any hint
Markus
