Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20021025-8
Severity: normal

Hello,

At http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~ccshan/debbugs/pdflatex/ is a document
containing some CJK characters.  The output of pdflatex when run on
"bug.tex" is the PDF file "bug.pdf".  This PDF file contains the
following fonts, as listed by the "pdffonts" command:

name                                 type         emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ------------ --- --- --- ---------
UBZQKZ+URWPalladioL-Roma             Type 1       yes yes no       6  0
bsmi05                               TrueType     yes no  no       9  0
bsmi01                               TrueType     yes no  no      12  0
bsmi03                               TrueType     yes no  no      15  0

As this table shows, the CJK fonts bsmi* are embedded (as desired) but
not subsetted (undesired).  This seems to contradict the documentation;
for instance, page 15 of pdftexman.pdf.gz states that "in general
this [encoding] option is highly preferred and is required when
subsetting a TrueType font", and the encoding is indeed specified in
/etc/texmf/dvips/arphic.map (cjk-latex package).

As found out later the font *is* subsetted, just the declaration in
the pdf file is wrong. This is fixed in the pdfTeX version of TL
2007. For testing we didn't use your example as the specific chinese
fonts needed, don't seem to be in Debian any more; instead some
western fonts were used.
