Remarks
All simple fonts have the following properties:
  • Glyphs in the font are selected by single-byte Character codes obtained from a string that is shown by the text-showing operators. Logically, these codes index into a table of 256 glyphs; the mapping from codes to glyphs is called the font's encoding. Each font program has a built-in encoding. Under some circumstances, the encoding can be altered by means described in Section 5.5.5 "Character Encoding" in PDF Reference Manual.
  • Each glyph has a single set of metrics. Therefore simple fonts support only horizontal writing mode.
