encoding vectors: different ones returned from GS vs Adobe Distiller

Show all headers | View raw

Folks,

The encoding vectors for fonts are different in Adobe and Ghostscript.
I ran this postscript on Adobe (Distiller) and then Ghostscript:
/LucidaBright 12 selectfont
currentfont 
/FontName get =
currentfont 
/Encoding get
dup
type =
{=} forall

Below are a couple of the many differences in the returned vector:
(1) bullet is not in the GS vector 
(2) germandbls is in both vectors but in position 224 in GS and 252 in Abobe 

I thougth the above postscript code would read the vector from the font itself.
Thus, I expected the same vector from either distiller and GS.

Is there a way to get the same vector?
Otherwise, using the (octal) position code to show a glyph will return different glyph if the postscript is run under GS verses Adobe Distiller.

Thx, Doug
