If you tried to use the first 255 characters in a modern font, they would map to the Latin-1 encoding, which is a subset of Windows-1252 but lacks some important characters, such as opening and closing quotes or em and en dashes.īut, if you’re not required to submit sources that compile in PDFTeX, there’s absolutely nothing forcing you to use legacy 8-bit fonts. ![]() Font+Encoding combinations possible for representation of text content in PDF The following table lists the possible/supported Encoding standard types for each Font standard supported in PDF. There aren’t any free, Type-1, Windows-1252 fonts that you could legally upload with your document sources. There are 8 font standards supported by the PDF format: Type1, CFF, Multiple master, TrueType, OpenType, Type3, Type 0 CIDFont, and Type 2 CIDFont. Older Windows fonts used Microsoft’s TrueType instead of the Adobe Type-1 format that PDFTeX does. Modern fonts come encoded in Unicode, not a legacy 8-bit code page. It might not be that bad (things like copy-and-paste will break, but maybe you can live with that), but it’s not good.Ĭould you create your own Type-1 font in the Windows-1252 encoding? Technically you could, but it’d be a lot of effort for no benefit. If your PDF reader thinks the document is using a different encoding than it really is, that’s not good. ![]() There are no fonts that ship with TeX in the Windows-1252 encoding. Your file in either of those cases is actually going to use a font in the OT1 encoding. ![]()
