Executive Summary
If you are seeing errors about CIDFont F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, or F6
- Missing Files: The system expects font files corresponding to specific identifiers (often standard names like
HeiseiKakuGo-W5,Munhwa-Regular, etc.), but cannot find them in the font directory (e.g.,/usr/share/ghostscript/fontsorC:\Program Files\gs\fonts). - Incorrect Mapping: The font mapping file contains syntax errors or points to non-existent paths.
- Substitution Failure: The system falls back to placeholder names (
f1,f2, etc.) because it cannot locate the actual font data, resulting in a "install" command that effectively does nothing or fails.
Final Conclusion
- For TrueType/OpenType: .ttf or .otf
- For PostScript Type 1: .pfb/.pfm
- For CID-keyed CFF: often inside OTF or CFF resources

: Allow users to specify the installation path for the fonts. The command should support default paths (e.g., /usr/share/fonts on Linux systems) but also permit users to define custom paths. cidfont f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 install
