Type 1 fonts usually have a m_font_program and no m_font -- they only
have m_font if we're using a replacement font for the fonts that
were built-in to PDFs before Acrobat 4.0 (and must still work to
show existing files).
However, SimpleFont::get_glyph_width() used to always return a
float, which in Type1Font was only implemented if m_font was set.
Per spec, we're supposed to just use /MissingWidth for fonts that
are missing an entry in the descriptor's /Width array. However, for
built-in fonts, no explicit /Width array is needed (PDF 1.7 spec,
Appendix H.3, 5.5.1). So if we just always use /MissingWidth,
then PDFs that use a built-in font draw all their text on top
of each other (e.g. 000333.pdf from stillhq.com-pdfdb).
So change get_glyph_width() to return Optional<float>, return
it only in Type1Font if m_font is set, and use MissingWidth
if it isn't set.
That way, replacement fonts still return a width, and real
fonts that are supposed to have /Width and use /MissingWidth
for missing entries do what they're supposed to too, instead
of crashing.
From 20 (6%) to 16 (5%) crashes on the 300 first PDFs, and from
39 (7.8%) to 31 (6.2%) on the 500-random PDFs test.
If the font dictionary didn't specify custom glyph widths, we would fall
back to the specified "missing width" (or 0 in most cases!), which meant
that we would draw glyphs on top of each other in a lot of cases, namely
for TrueTypeFonts or standard Type1Fonts with an OpenType fallback.
What we actually want to do in this case is ask the OpenType font for
the correct width.
The PDFFont class hierarchy was very simple (a top-level PDFFont class,
followed by all the children classes that derived directly from it).
While this design was good enough for some things, it didn't correctly
model the actual organization of font types:
* PDF fonts are first divided between "simple" and "composite" fonts.
The latter is the Type0 font, while the rest are all simple.
* PDF fonts yield a glyph per "character code". Simple fonts char codes
are always 1 byte long, while Type0 char codes are of variable size.
To this effect, this commit changes the hierarchy of Font classes,
introducing a new SimpleFont class, deriving from PDFFont, and acting as
the parent of Type1Font and TrueTypeFont, while Type0 still derives from
PDFFont directly. This distinction allows us now to:
* Model string rendering differently from simple and composite fonts:
PDFFont now offers a generic draw_string method that takes a whole
string to be rendered instead of a single char code. SimpleFont
implements this as a loop over individual bytes of the string, with
T1 and TT implementing draw_glyph for drawing a single char code.
* Some common fields between T1 and TT fonts now live under SimpleFont
instead of under PDFfont, where they previously resided.
* Some other interfaces specific to SimpleFont have been cleaned up,
with u16/u32 not appearing on these classes (or in PDFFont) anymore.
* Type0Font's rendering still remains unimplemented.
As part of this exercise I also took the chance to perform the following
cleanups and restructurings:
* Refactored the creation and initialisation of fonts. They are all
centrally created at PDFFont::create, with a virtual "initialize"
method that allows them to initialise their inner members in the
correct order (parent first, child later) after creation.
* Removed duplicated code.
* Cleaned up some public interfaces: receive const refs, removed
unnecessary ctro/dtors, etc.
* Slightly changed how Type1 and TrueType fonts are implemented: if
there's an embedded font that takes priority, otherwise we always
look for a replacement.
* This means we don't do anything special for the standard fonts. The
only behavior previously associated to standard fonts was choosing an
encoding, and even that was under questioning.
