Adding custom pbf and pfm fonts to Acrobat Reader

[Dubi123]

I have added my (modified) font to Adobe Reader (pfb and pfm files) and called it Arial CE (some local characters).

It works but hold metrics from original Arial (despite that in FontLab I have done calculation for new metrics/kerning).
This is not so big problem because metrics is much similar, but, anyway, sometimes one can notice it.

Today I have also put different fonts for Arial CE Italic and Arial CE Bold but Adobe Acrobat ignores them and simply modify Arial CE to Arial CE Italic and Arial CE Bold as before these fonts have been added (no change - generate fonts form first font, ignoring additional two fonts).

In my opinion it has something to do with names I give to
Adobe CE Italic and Adobe CE Bold font when generating them
in FontLab (FontName, Full Font Name, etc., much guesswork for me here).

Any suggestion for this?

Kind regards

I have solved the problem.

Name in Font Info dialog box in FontLab should be:

fontname,[style]

fontname,Bold

fontname,Italic

fontname,BoldItalic

It is important to separate name and style with comma (,)
and not with -.

like

Font Name: ArialCE,Italic

than generate .pfb and .pfm files and put into appropriate Acrobat Reader folder (where original fonts reside).

Still remain problem with metrics but, as letters of similar size have been modifed it is difficult to notice it.

Kind regards
