[ft-devel] Fonts with unusual CFF operators sought!

[Werner LEMBERG]

Folks,


the Type 2 specification 

  http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/font/5177.Type2.pdf

has a list of `exotic' opcodes which have been mainly added to the
standard for round-trip conversion of MultipleMaster fonts, a
technology which is defunct already since more than ten years.  Most
of the two-byte opcodes belong into this category:

  and, or, not
  abs,
  add, sub, div, mul,
  neg, sqrt
  eq,
  drop,
  put, get
  ifelse,
  random,
  dup, exch, index, roll

I now wonder whether people have CFF fonts (most probably embedded
into old PDF documents) which actually use those opcodes.

Please report if you have!  I would like to collect use-cases and test
fonts.

PS: I *do* have fonts which use the deprecated `seac' emulation, so
    this special feature of the `endchar' opcode is not part of my
    request.
