------- Additional Comments From henry.stiles at artifex.com  2009-03-15 12:13 -------
We are still working on how we want to handle this.  The problem is the driver
writer is using a truetype collection header with a truetype font, resulting in
a corrupt font.  It looks like HP and other PCL rips don't look at the header
and simply treat everything as truetype.  If you are only running pcl the
following patch is a workaround until we have a permanent fix.
