Description

When I embed Truetype fonts as CID fonts in a PDF file with FOP 0.2.0, the
characters appear fine in the PDF, but copying-and-pasting them from the PDF
with Acrobat Reader's (5.0) text selection tool does not work. All characters
are reduced to spaces.
Is this an issue of how the font information gets written into the PDF?
