Encoding |
Description |
---|---|
StandardEncoding |
Adobe standard Latin-text encoding. This is the built-in encoding defined in Type 1 Latin-text font programs (but generally not in TrueType font programs). Conforming readers shall not have a predefined encoding named StandardEncoding. However, it is necessary to describe this encoding, since a font’s built-in encoding can be used as the base encoding from which differences may be specified in an encoding dictionary. |
MacRomanEncoding |
Mac OS standard encoding for Latin text in Western writing systems. Conforming readers shall have a predefined encoding named MacRomanEncoding that may be used with both Type 1 and TrueType fonts. |
WinAnsiEncoding |
Windows Code Page 1252, often called the “Windows ANSI” encoding. This is the standard Windows encoding for Latin text in Western writing systems. Conforming readers shall have a predefined encoding named WinAnsiEncoding that may be used with both Type 1 and TrueType fonts. |
PDFDocEncoding |
Encoding for text strings in a PDF document outside the document’s content streams. This is one of two encodings (the other being Unicode) that may be used to represent text strings; see 7.9.2.2, "Text String Type" . PDF does not have a predefined encoding named PDFDocEncoding; it is not customary to use this encoding to show text from fonts. |
MacExpertEncoding |
An encoding for use with expert fonts—ones containing the expert character set. Conforming readers shall have a predefined encoding named MacExpertEncoding. Despite its name, it is not a platform-specific encoding; however, only certain fonts have the appropriate character set for use with this encoding. No such fonts are among the standard 14 predefined fonts. |
