Note that in order to prevent any possible issues, this patch does *not* try to amend the `toUnicode` data for Type1 fonts that contain either `ToUnicode` or `Encoding` entries in the font dictionary.
Fixes, or at least improves, issues/bugs such as e.g. 6658, 6901, 7182, 7217, bug 917796, bug 1242142.
This patch is yet another instalment in the (never ending) series of patches for PDF files that specify completely incorrect Type/Subtype for its fonts. In this case Type1/Type1C, when in fact OpenType would have been correct.
Fixes 7598.
When adding new entries to `ProblematicCharRanges`, you have to be careful to not make any mistakes since that could cause glyph mapping issues.
Currently the existing reference tests should probably help catch any errors, but based on experience I think that having a unit-test which specifically checks `ProblematicCharRanges` would be both helpful and timesaving when modifying/reviewing changes to this code.
Hence this patch which adds a function (and unit-test) that is used to validate the entries in `ProblematicCharRanges`, and also checks that we don't accidentally add more character ranges than the Private Use Area can actually contain.
The way that the validation code, and thus the unit-test, is implemented also means that we have an easy way to tell how much of the Private Use Area is potentially utilized by re-mapped characters.
In the PDF file in the issue, some of the glyphs end up being mapped to the Lepcha Unicode block; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepcha_(Unicode_block).
This didn't use to matter, but after HarfBuzz updates that improved support for Lepcha fonts, in particular https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1249861, some glyphs are now moved horizontally.
To avoid that, this patch adds the Lepcha block to the list of Unicode ranges that we skip when building the glyph mapping.
Fixes 7426.
After PR 7441, where `recoverGlyphName` is used a lot more than before, many PDF files will generate a lot of warnings the console. For normal usage, compared to debugging/development, this is probably more annoying than helpful.
Fallback to attempt to recover standard glyph names when amending the `charCodeToGlyphId` with entries from the `differences` array in `type1FontGlyphMapping` (issue 7439)
In fonts with only upper-case glyphs, that are also missing a space glyph, `get spaceWidth` won't be able to return anything useful.
By adding upper-case `I` as a fallback, we can thus improve text-selection in some PDF files.
Note that locally, the patch causes slight movement in a few existing `text` tests, but in my opinion this actually looks like slight improvements.
Fixes 7180.
Currently the `isSpace` utility function is a member of `Lexer`, which seems suboptimal, given that it's placed in `core/parser.js`. In practice, this means that in a number of `core/*.js` files we thus have an *otherwise* completely unnecessary dependency on `core/parser.js` for a one-line function.
Instead, this patch moves `isSpace` into `shared/util.js` which seems more appropriate for this kind of utility function. Not to mention that since all the affected `core/*.js` files already depends on `shared/util.js`, this doesn't incur any more file dependencies.
According to "The table directory" under https://developer.apple.com/fonts/TrueType-Reference-Manual/RM06/Chap6.html#Directory, TrueType font tables should have `uint32` checksums.
This is something that I noticed, and was initially confused about, while debugging a TrueType issue.
As far as I can tell, the current (`int32`) checksums we use doesn't cause any issues in practice. However, I do think that this should be addressed to agree with the specification, and to reduce possible confusion when reading the font code.
Currently there's a lot of duplicate code for non-embedded `toFontChar`, which this patch simplifies by extracting the code into a helper function instead.
This patch adds a `getUnicodeForGlyph` helper function, which is used to recover Unicode values for non-standard glyph names.
Some PDF generators, e.g. Scribus PDF, use improper `uniXXXX` glyph names which breaks the glyph mapping. We can avoid this by converting them to "standard" glyph names instead.
Fixes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1132849.
Fixes 6893.
Fixes 6894.
In the PDF file in question, some of the 'name' table entries have `record.length === 0`. This becomes problematic in the non-unicode case, since `font.getBytes(0)` will fetch the *entire* stream.
Given that OTS rejects 'name' entries larger than `2^16`, this thus explain the sanitizer errors.
Fixes 7020.
It seems to be fairly common for OCR software to include incomplete TrueType fonts, notable missing the "glyf" table, in PDF files. Since we currently reject such fonts, the result is that text-selection/copying is broken.
This patch contains a suggested approach to try and use these kind of broken fonts, by using existing code in `sanitizeGlyphLocations` to replace a missing "glyf" table with dummy data.
Fixes 4684.
Fixes 6007.
Fixes 6829.
*This patch follows a similar idea as PR 5756.*
The patch is based on the nice debugging done by Brendan in the referenced issue 6782.
A better way to handle this, and similar issues, would probably be to completely ignore what the PDF file claims about font type/subtype, and just check the actual data. But until that kind of rewrite happens, this patch should help.
Fixes 6782.
In `Font_checkAndRepair` we can decide that a font isn't TrueType, and instead parse it as CFF. In that case it's quite possible that the `fontMatrix` will be changed, and without calling `adjustWidths` we're failing to update the glyph widths correctly.
Fixes 5027.

After PR 6590, `font.spaceWidth` is now called in more cases than before (in `PartialEvaluator_getTextContent`), which exposed an underlying issue with `IdentityToUnicodeMap_charCodeOf` throwing an error.
This breaks text-selection in some PDF files found in the wild, hence this patch replaces the `error` with an actual function instead (modelled after `IdentityCMap_charCodeOf`).
For (1, 0) cmaps, we have two different codepaths depending on whether the font has/hasn't got an encoding. But with (3, 1) cmaps we don't have a good fallback when the encoding is missing, hence this patch changes `readCmapTable` to only choose a (3, 1) cmap table if the font is non-symbolic *and* an encoding exists. Without this, we'll not be able to successfully create a working glyph map for some TrueType fonts with (3, 1) cmap tables.
Fixes 6410.
Fixes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1200096.
The problematic font has a `format 2` cmap, which we've never supported properly. Prior to PR 2606, we were able to fallback to a working state, despite not having proper support for that cmap format.
Obviously the best/correct solution would be to implement actual support for more cmap formats[1]. However, I'm hoping that a simple patch will be OK for now, given that:
- `format 2` cmaps seem to be quite rare in practice, since this has been broken for 2.5 years before anyone noticed.
- Having a simple patch will make potential uplifts a lot easier.

Fixes 6068.
The most notable issue with the font in question is that the `differences` array contains lots of strange entries (of the type `uniXXXX`, instead of proper glyph names).
Fixes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1050040.
With this patch the file is completely readable, but given that the font is broken enough to be rejected by OTS the rendering differs slightly from Adobe Reader.
*Note:* the PDF file is sufficiently broken that even Adobe Reader complains about the font, *and* also about another more general issue.
Currently if a font contains a `toUnicode` entry, we always create a new `ToUnicodeMap` in evaluator.js. This is done even for `IdentityV/IdentityH`, despite to possibility to use the much more compact `IdentityToUnicodeMap` representation.
This patch refactors the `IdentityH/IdentityV` cases, to:
- Avoid calling `IdentityCMap.getMap`, since this prevents allocating and iterating through an array with 65536 elements.
- Ensure that the handling of `toUnicode` is actually correct in fonts.js.
We rely on `toUnicode instanceof IdentityToUnicodeMap` in a few places, and currently this does not work correctly for `IdentityH/IdentityV`.
This is a very small follow-up to PR 5536, which sets `isStandardFont` to `false` instead of `undefined` (as currently happens for some font names).
Since the patch is so small, I hope it's OK to also fix an unrelated copy-and-paste error in a comment that was added in PR 5260.
According to practical experiments, falling back to "Helvetica" when we encounter a non-embedded "[Century Gothic](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_Gothic)" `CIDFontType2` font seems to work well.
(Also, the section on Wikipedia about "Printer ink usage" *might* provide some anecdotal evidence that Century Gothic is a fairly standard sans-serif font.)
Obviously this patch doesn't make "Century Gothic" fonts render perfectly, as is often the case with non-embedded fonts, but all the text is now legible in the referenced issues.
Fixes 4722.
Fixes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=879561.
This is a tentative patch that adds *very* basic support for non-embedded Wingdings fonts (a Windows version of Dingbats), by falling back to the ZapfDingbats encoding. Obviously this approach will not work perfectly, but in my opinion it seems to work reasonably well in pratice.
Instead of this very simple patch, another option would be to try and include more complete glyph data for Wingdings, e.g. a Unicode map and glyph widths, similar to what was done for ZapfDingbats.
However there is, in my opinion, one important difference between Wingdings and ZapfDingbats: ZapfDingbats is part of the 14 standard fonts, which in previous versions of the PDF specification was assumed to be available in PDF readers. To improve compatibility with older files, it thus makes sense for us to include data for ZapfDingbats.
However Wingdings has never been a standard font in PDF files, hence PDF files using it *should* thus contain all the necessary font data.
Given the above, I thus believe that it should be OK to fall back to ZapfDingbats for now. If non-embedded Wingdings fonts turns out to be *a lot* more common, then we can revisit this later.

This patch avoids creating many intermediate strings, when adding dummy width/lsb entries for glyphs where those are missing.
For the relevant PDF files in our test suite, the average number of intermediate strings are well over 1000.
readCharCode() returns two values, and currently allocates a length-2
array on every call to do so. This change makes it instead us a
passed-in object which can be reused.
This tiny change reduces the total JS allocations done for the document
in Mozilla bug 992125 by 4.2%.
When loading the PDF from issue #4935, this change reduces peak RSS from
~2400 to ~300 MiB, and improves overall speed by ~81%, from 6336 ms to
1222 ms.
cid chars are 16-bit unsigned integers. Currently we convert them to
single-char strings when inserting them into the CMap, and then convert
them back to integers when extracting them from the CMap. This patch
changes CMap so that cid chars stay in integer format throughout, saving
both time and space.
When loading the PDF from issue #4580, this change reduces peak RSS from
~600 to ~370 MiB. It also improves overall speed on that PDF by ~26%,
going from 724 ms to 533 ms.
In b5b94a4af3, i.e. PR #4259, we stopped using cidmaps.js. Despite that, it's still included when PDF.js is built. At almost 0.5 MB (and approx. 7000 lines), this is currently the single largest file in the codebase.
Including such a large file in the builds, when it is not actually used, seems extremely wasteful; hence this patch.
